His mom worked full time and he was an only child. [/quote]

It’s it your job to fix his childhood by staying home and filling up your house now.

I had an only DC but also had a DH who had specific ideas about how our family should be without wanting to participate in the work to make it that way. It was hard to see when Dc was little but it evolved quickly from me making excuses to myself like “he likes things a specific way” and “he needs his space” and “he can be a better dad if he has time with his friends” to “maybe he’s controlling” and then “oh, this is abuse.”

It’s a fine line. Get a therapist. Watch out for your financial interests. Focus on savings that can be split and don’t let him convince you to put money in a bigger house or buying things you don’t need.

Whatever issues he has now will not improve when the kids are older and have a voice and agency, so be aware of that. [/quote]
