[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And definitely stop waking him up. Tell him you’re not doing it anymore and then don’t do it. [/quote] This. You will get better results if you follow through on your boundaries. [b]He probably perceives you as not serious and just fussing at him because you don't follow through. [/b] How is it that he is emotionally available yet counseling has failed and he DGAF about being fair to you?[/quote] This. Also, stop doing things that are not necessary. Men often have very different ideas about what is necessary and what is merely a leisure activity, and then are perplexed and annoyed when their wife burns herself out doing unnecessary things and gets upset about it. Take a very hard look at everything you do, and see if you can eliminate it or dial it back. Holiday stuff is a great example. Don't decorate as much and send out your card late. Because it really doesn't matter! Cut back kid activities, food that is fancier than needed, and question which of your family obligations are real and which are self-imposed and nobody but you actually cares about. Get rid of all that stuff and you will have more time.[/quote] That’s the ticket: Do Nothing! No traditions, no extra curricular clubs or sports or music, no weekend outings, no shopping for stuff, no planning trips, no meals out. Just all four of you stay at home and do nothing. Your kids don’t need any life experiences or skills, just so nothing! So simple. It will clearly make everything better, this sinking to the lowest denominator parenting. [/quote] That is not it. OP should only do the things that are genuinely important to herself and/or the children, and should examine everything she does in that light. [/quote]
