[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I got divorced, all but my closest friends were shocked. We always had a perfect marriage on paper - never fought, lovely child, lovely home, did stuff together, etc.

What you wouldn't have seen was that he was the worst husband. When it was just us, he barely spoke to me, barely interacted with DD, did nothing around the house. It was just work all the time but because it was "cool" work that was fairly social, he didn't present like a workaholic unless you were married to him.

I asked him to go to counseling and he refused. Said I should go on my own and figure out how to be happy with what I had. I told him I wanted to separate if he wouldn't work on our issues with me. He said that was fine, since he didn't have issues and didn't want to deal with mine.

I only ever told a handful of people about that and was pretty sad when it turned out that most of our friends thought our life was perfect. [/quote]

THIS.  It wasn't a workaholic thing for me, but a lazy husband thing.  He only ever activates under various circumstances.  When our extended family is around, he is super on-the-job.  When I have a night out with the girls, he makes sure to be very present, very attentive, and tell me about all the wrong parenting decisions I've made.[/quote]
