[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m talking about emotionally detaching and reducing effort in the marriage to the bare minimum.  I’m burnt out from a full-time job and being the default parent. At the end of the day, my kids, clients, and husband take everything I have to give, leaving nothing for me.  I’m sick of all his “work” conferences, dinners, and pleasure trips while I’m breaking my back at work and at home.  I’m just done.  He adds no value to my life anymore.   I’m calendaring my own solo bucket-list trips this year.  I’m not communicating with him outside of necessary parenting. I’m dropping the rope on anything related to his family.   I’m investing my time and income in myself, my kids, and my friendships.  He gets nothing from me. How long can this last? Long enough to finish raising kids? I won’t exactly be sad if it leads to divorce, so fear of divorce is not motivating me to keep trying.  [/quote]

You sound passive-aggressive. That doesn’t solve any issues.[/quote]

How is self-care passive-aggressive? [/quote]

DP - By definition "quiet" anything is passive aggressive. Direct aggressive is confronting with: "Henceforth X is what's happening, because Y and therefore Z". Announcing to the anonymous internet you're "quitting" is passive weak sauce bullshit.

You brought children into the world with a non-parent. Take full responsibility. Now.[/quote]

But being direct and aggressive might accelerate the inevitable divorce, and if the goal is to keep the kids under the same roof as OP until they leave for college, then being directly aggressive won't work.  [/quote]
