[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious what % of married fathers read and process (ID, discuss, process/handle) their wife’s emails or the emails from the school, coaches, camps, invites, Etc. [/quote] After my wife died, I read and processed those emails I deemed important, and ignored the rest.[/quote] Yep, I think this here is why men and women argue about this kind of issue. Men are much more selective with texts or emails they deem need an actual response. Not every communication needs a response. Not every weekend needs to be planned. Not everything needs to be scheduled out 2 months in advance.[/quote] Prioritizing emails is not the question. The question is if one parent is forced to play prioritizer & handler secretary for ALL COMMs and INFO b/c the other is totally checked out. [/quote] For me, it continued until he moved out of the country with his new wife, leaving our kid behind. For the years of coparenting leading up to that move, I had to set up daily texts and emails to tell him about scheduling matters, just as I had throughout our marriage. I just had to repeat my daily mantra that I will do what's best for our kid in every situation, no matter what my ex does or doesn't do. Sometimes it meant leaving an event and driving across town to pick up our kid because my ex forgot and his phone was dead. It doesn't get better with divorce. [/quote] Did you really think enabling your narcissistic idiot of an ex-husband in neglecting your kid was best for your kid? I would've documented all of that evidence and gone to court to strip him of access. I don't know why there are so many women like you who think that playing doormat to an arrogant idiot makes them a good mom. I get that society has terrible double standards, but you do know that you don't have to uphold them?[/quote]
