[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to come to peace with it. 
For me and the kids, we just function on our own/do our own thing and I consider DH a "weekend dad" as he isnt around during the kids' waking hours during the week. I liken it to dh being on a business trip - totally solo parenting.
Having said that, it can be exhausting and resentment can snowball (especially when dh sleeps in on the weekend for exams. Gerrrr). So make sure you have built  in respites for yourself and can recharge routinely. Easier said than done, I know.

Have you talked to dh? What is his perspective?[/quote]

This is pathetic...divorce already. [/quote]

Not the PP, but I don’t find anything pathetic about it.  She is choosing happiness and to make the best of the situation she is in.  No one has everything just as they want it.  We all make sacrifices and learn to work around non-ideal circumstances.  Divorce would mean she still had to solo parent, but now would have to also work full time, and have the same or more house work to do, and probably less money- oh and get to only see her kids half the time.  That doesn’t sound like the better deal. [/quote]
