[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why this is your job to manage. It's almost like you've taken on your DH as another kid.

I'd be fine with the hobbies and purchases....but would draw the line at the "new personality". He's grumpy? Tired of being a dad? He was a willing participant in the decisions that led up to this point in his life, right? So sorry the consequences of the sex he had many years ago is too much for him to handle now.

Is he still able to emotionally connect with you on a relationship level....or is he just a big whinny ball of complaints at this point?

You think your approach will help fix the problem? Your position here is logically defensible, but if there are things that OP can do to help make her DH happier and her marriage stronger, isn't that worth considering? If those things burden her more than they help her, then probably she shouldn't bother. But if they ultimately help her more than they burden her, she should probably go ahead and do them even if, logically, "she shouldn't have to." [/quote]
