[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately I think a lot of men feel this way. Most of the men with kids I’ve dated have said something similar, and not even out of anger. I broke up with my last bf because he said he’ll always come before his kids, and I saw the damage that mentality did. [/quote]

I couldn’t believe how he’d totally ignore his kids in the room and just spend hours reading his phone. All the time. [/quote]

My husband is like that. I can be managing the kids and cleaning up or cooking or getting them ready and he's just ignoring us. It's like it doesn't occur to him that he should participate. The only way it got better was me scheduling a lot more time for myself outside of the house. He will take them out to the park, or I'll come home and they'll be doing something together at least some of the time. And when it is both of us at home, I either write off his participation or explicitly ask for what I need.

To OP: my husband has said much worse things to me and I haven't gotten over it, but I do live with it. [/quote]
