[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this thread so interesting. In most threads everyone likes on the husband that doesn’t do enough around the house, with the kids, etc. And all studies show this is the case, even more so when the woman is the breadwinner (like OP seems to be). For some reason , people have taken what appear to be legitimate complaints about the lack of a real partner and turned them into “bad mother who doesn’t deserve to have kids.” I don’t get it.

Sure, there is all kinds of advice about extending grace, not scorekeeping, etc, that would be excellent advice if the husband wasn’t a jackass, but it sounds like he is one. And the OP sounds like she is past the point of no return on this marriage. So what might have worked three years ago isn’t going to work now.

Once you are at the point where you wish your husband’s plane would crash on his biz trip so he never came home (which is what this sounds like), you really just need to find a divorce lawyer.[/quote]

My marriage came back from that point. I know that's weird, but it did. My husband legitimately stepped up. The answer was my being far more selfish and willing to leave. And I'm a much more fun wife now that I sleep enough and go to the gym regularly and generally take care of myself, and he gets to enjoy that. [/quote]
