[quote=Anonymous]Op here.  I think the underlying reason is that he probably never really wanted this marriage.  He’s an extreme introvert and kinda tried me on for a while thinking it would be good for him.  But 15 years in, he wants to read his books, hike and pursue his hobbies. He has very few needs for people—we have “couple friends” who we see frequently and he has a few of his own friends who he sees occasionally…but social interaction is not high on his list of priorities.

He is a very good father—quiet, but attentive and interested. I think he spends all of the emotional energy he has on being connected with the kids and has nothing left for me, friends or other relationships.  He is truly good with the kids—we hike together a lot as a family, he comes to all sporting events, he talks to them about their days, he plans vacations with their interests in mind, etc.   I handle all kid logistics but he handles lots of other logistics—e.g.  vacation planning, home repairs, more than 50% of the cooking, etc.  [/quote]
