[quote=Anonymous]Is there a gender issue at play here?

I don't mention my family in my social media bio at all (I can't even remember what they say, I think not much). But I feel like I've seen a lot of bios from women that highlight their kids (and sometimes, yes, their religious affiliation and pets) but don't necessarily mention their husbands. The mom thing in particular is big. A lot of women count motherhood as their central identity, so it wouldn't be that weird to me for them to mention their kids but not their spouse. And while I wouldn't do any of this, I kind of get it -- being a parent is all consuming in a way that being a spouse is not (and shouldn't be). I love my DH but I don't spend every day all day working for his benefit. But there are absolutely times in my life when I've done that for my kids (especially when they were babies/toddlers).

I don't know. I guess it would just depend on other factors. I don't think it's a big deal but I could also understand if it bothers you OP. Especially if it feels like he might neglect you in other ways. I probably prioritize my kids over my spouse, but I still prioritize my spouse. It's just the kids mostly need more of me whereas my spouse is more of a partner and friend and doesn't demand as much of me.[/quote]
