[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7:16 here. So sick of American culture idolizing happiness. Who doesn’t want to be happy? Obviously we all want to feel happy and experience happiness. But there’s no way a marriage that is characterized by responsibilities, demanding work schedules, kids activities etc can compete with the dopamine of an EA. American culture should prioritize sacrifice, not happiness, as worthy of pursuit. DH will never be happy - happiness is circumstantial- he cannot be happy with her while blowing up his marriage & traumatizing his children. Instead of focusing on happiness he should focus on what true love is — sacrifice.[/quote]

Wow.  I agree that “happiness”  is naive but this does not sound pleasant.  You realize many people want to have great sex and a variety of life experiences/adventures, right? [/quote]

I agree with the prior poster.  The husband here sounds like a total dud. I mean - there is nothing here for him to pine over or consider.  He made his vows to his wife, has obligations to his kids, and needs to stick with the program.  Why does having the basic decency to honor your promises and obligations even need to be deemed a sacrifice; it should be a given. People can be incredibly selfish.  If my DH did me like this I’d kick him to the curb. No way I would tolerate this inexcusable disrespect and pathetic display of self absorption.  [/quote]
