[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. OP/DW  here. Yes, since having kids I am low drive and resentful of his level of involvement. He is a great man and loves his kids but chooses to take on projects (for example unnecessary-IMO- landscaping of the backyard when we have a newborn) that end up with me doing the majority of the parenting. I then become exhausted (oh BTW I'm the breadwinner too) and resentful and "touched out" and just want to go to bed and sleep. He wants to talk about our issues and fix them, but at this point I'm kind of over it. We don't have fights, really, and get along well at least on the surface.

I'll give some of these books a shot. Books were his idea, BTW.[/quote]

Resentment is going to kill you. That touched out feeling does diminish after a while, but don't let your resentments fester. I strongly recommend therapy. Somebody suggested EFT (emotionally focused therapy) on a thread, try that. You guys need to talk about this NOW and make some changes. Because you are on the path to disengagement and not giving a flying f*** about your husband. (I say as one who has been there).[/quote]
