[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unhealthy Bizarre PP here.  That is exactly my point.  What OP's wife is doing is not healthy either.  It's what a woman does who does not really want her husband anymore.  I know plenty of good wives.  Whether they work or not they take a deep interest in their kids' welfare and that of their husbands.  OP's wife is completely unapologetic about letting him shoulder the burden.  Have you considered that the reason she is working insanely is to a) escape the drudgery of momming in the present AND b) to establish her financial security in the future?  When you are only remaining in the marriage for the kids this is how you think.  I am just trying to open OP's eyes to the reality.[/quote]

This is exactly the same thing I was just about to write. I’m sorry OP but I think your wife has checked out and is setting herself up financially to be on her own.  If you truly make $500k then I don’t understand why she is working so late every night and focusing on work so much. I would think she would try to have some balance and be there for the kids and with you. Right now she isnt prioritizing anyone but herself. She probably got burnt out and fed up by being a SAHM all those years. Now she has some freedom and would rather be at work than at home dealing with the day to day drudgery. That or... she’s having an affair with someone at work and has to “ stay late” a lot. [/quote]

Bizarre here again.  Thanks.  I could be wrong but everything OP describes makes the doomsday scenario a real possibility.  This DW sounds completely checked-out.  I empathize.  [/quote]
