[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are truly not getting it, and are just offering excuses. "I was resentful because I was helping out so much." "I was trying to support her by doing overnight wake ups."

You are an equal partner in this relationship, and in parenting. You are not 'helping out.' You are not 'supporting her.' You are supposed to be a parent - which means waking up with your kid. Which means cleaning the house after your wife grew and pushed out a human. These are things that you just do - these are not grand gestures.

If I were your wife, and these were the excuses you were giving me, I'd divorce you SO fast. [/quote]

Yeah, that's a load of horse shit.  Parenting and marriage is not 50-50.  That's divorce.  Marriage and parenting is 100% all the time.  DW and I just did what needed to be done when it needed to be done without worrying over whose turn it was or how much the other person had been doing.  Of course there where days when I came home from work and she handed DC to me and said, "I need a break."  That's just the way it is.  Having kids means neither the mom or the dad is number 1 in their spouse's eyes for a few years.

Resentful for helping out?  "Supporting" her by doing what you're supposed to be doing?  What do you want, a fucking cookie?  (reminds me of a Chris Rock stand up a long time ago)[/quote]
