[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] No it’s not. Stop fixating and try to listen. This is not black & white like you hope everything is. Quiet and hitting a relationship is knowing you, and especially the kids, have all bad options so you are picking the least bad option. And are ceasing to prop up your deadweight husband. All his poor comms, poor parenting, poor executive functioning, poor relationships are now his to deal with. You are no longer covering them up or fixing them up. Dropping the rope. The idiot will be too egotistical to notice or ask why. Because he knows the answer is he’s a $hithead. Do be ready for him to wonder why he’s not getting held up any longer, then hit the Easy Button, leave, and play the victim to any sucker who will listen: [/quote]
