[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you give an example of what you mean by life’s big responsibilities? How is he not stepping up to those and how are you forced to fill in?[/quote]

He doesn’t know the first thing about about maintaining anything having to do with our house or our cars, it all falls on me. And I make more money. And I work more hours. [/quote]

Oh, so you are a time traveler from the 50s. [/quote]

Lol. I want a partner not a child. Like all women.

LOL. So you're ready to explain to your daughter that the reason she has to shuffle between 2 households , deal with step parrents, step siblings.have siblings and all those complexities for the rest of her life is because  her dad was not a mechanic and a plumber and this made mommy unhappy?[/quote]

Well right. I worry a lot about that (the complexities). But the flip side is not how you described it but rather her seeing a marriage where the woman carries the burden of life so daddy can live as a child at her expense. I am sincerely not sure what is worse.[/quote]

How is he living as a child if he has a job and is a good father? My DH is also not good at fixing cars or household items. But he has a good job so can afford to outsource. He’s a good dad and my soul mate. We are on the same team and bring our strengths together to reach our goals. Sounds like your marriage is more transactional and he didn’t live up to your expectations so you fell out of love. It’s cliche, but love is hard work. That is something you could model to your daughter. Thinking of each other as teammates and not adversaries. [/quote]
