[quote=Anonymous]I think the detachment started around the time I turned 40 and figured out that I needed to make myself happy. I tried to stop jumping in to fix everything and let more household stuff slide. I enjoy cooking, so I did that for the creativity and pleasure of it, and if it was appreciated, so much the better. He told me that our yard needed some colorful plants. Great. I did not do a thing, and he came home with colorful plants, installed them, and watered them for several days afterward.

As for making plans, as Chris Rock said - 'who wants to date your wife?'  He's divorced now, so I guess that didn't work out very well for him. But the point stands - men chased and caught us, and now they do not feel the need to woo us any longer. I like to do more socializing than DH, so I plan more Mom Nights Out, Moms Night In (at my house) and seeing chick flicks with friends. He would rather be on the couch watching football and I like drinking margaritas with my gal pals. We go on date nights - dinners out and movies too, so it's not like we never do anything.And we have a weekend trip without kids coming up soon.

Frankly, I think he likes the space. I know I'm enjoying it.[/quote]
