[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I agree with you that your husband is being a twit. If this type of behavior keeps up after you have the baby you have to decide if you want to stay with him but have separate interests and do things you like on your own/with kids or leave him.

I wanted more kids and didn’t want to coparent, split time with the kids, or remarry and hope to find someone else who wanted to have kids quickly so I stayed.

We now have 3 kids that I primarily parent and I usually do my own thing on weekends and leave him to sitting on the couch. Once I stopped trying to involve him in my plans my life opened up and I feel I have a lot of freedom. Yes, I wish I had more of a partner but I wanted kids and motherhood more so I figured out a way of dealing with it. [/quote]

Well this was the classic 50s dad, only golf or lions club rather than couch and video games. But yes strong precedent. If OP prioritizes a willing sperm donor, this is a bad plan[/quote]

pp, yes I would compare it to something of a 1950s household dynamic. If you already have a child with a person and you want more, it can be easier to stay. This is especially true of you get along with DH but don’t share similar interests. I like DH as a person and we do find time to connect but I had to accept that he’s not coming to the farmers market or the pool or to any kind of event. I stopped waiting for him to come with me.[/quote]

This is the type of marriage my mom's generation tended to have. They basically lived separate lives and dh brought home the paycheck. [/quote]
