[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience with my husband when my daughter was six months old.  He sat me down and asked me how I was going to lose the weight.  Honestly, it was a slap in the face.  I was taking care of three small children, working as the only doctor in my specialty in our town, teaching Sunday school, and taking care of all of the household tasks.  I took some big steps back in my career and stopped publishing so that I could take care of our children and my patients without him having to sacrifice his career, and still getting to be the kind of father he wanted to be... And he still wasn't happy...I wasn't doing enough for him?  
I started going to the gym after I put the kids in bed at night if he was not on call.  I didn't want to see him.  I lost the weight, and decided that I still love him and want to see him, but I am done making big changes in my life for him.  They are clearly not appreciated.  He ended up having a medical problem shortly afterward and lost his job because of it. I went to see him in the hospital a couple of times.  I took on more patients in my clinic to pay the bills, but I wasn't about to flip my life upside down for him. Not anymore. He eventually found a job out of state, and obviously the kids and I didn't go.  So, yeah, we aren't having sex more than a few times a month when he comes home for the weekend.  He lives in a one bedroom apartment 900 miles away.  He goes to his doctors appointments alone.  He has never met his kids teachers.  I don't know what to tell you, but I think that how you handle this can be a big relationship changer.[/quote]
