[quote=Anonymous]OP - i think what gets me is not that i expect him to also be on his phone the whole time with both of us in high flying jobs, but my success has come at a cost of putting in extra time and effort eg after the kids go to bed. He NEVER ever ever ever does that. I'd settle for sometimes, or if he occasionally went to network or meet a new person or SOMETHING. I dont think he knows what doors are closed to him bc he has stopped trying to open them.

That makes me depressed because it feels like the ambition is so massively on my shoulders to have. No one wants to have to have it be so uneven. He's a good dad but it's not like he's massively ambitious about being a good dad either.

I just feel like - be driven about something. I have psyched myself up to be driven for so many years and now i'm like physically falling apart (literally) and i just want to be able to pass a little bit of the pressure off. So we have the resentment piece and the attraction piece.

and yes i'm sure he regrets marrying me maybe. and would have preferred someone who maybe shared in what turned out to be his ultimate level of ambition which is low. Although not sure what they would have done for money.
