[quote=Anonymous]Met at 24. Married 8 years later. Lived together for about 3 years before marriage, so I thought I knew what I was getting into. He was attentive, loving, and divided household responsibilities with me evenly. He talked up being a parent and having kids but clearly didn’t understand the realities of those responsibilities. One the reality of parenthood hit he mentally checked out, so now I’m stuck with 95% of parenting responsibilities for 2 young kids. We both WFH full-time, and my job is the more demanding of the two. I’m burned out and drowning, but he doesn’t actually seem to care anymore. Everything is my fault. I was blindsided. There were no warning signs but, looking back at things, I should have paid more attention to the dynamic between his parents. His mother carried all responsibilities for house and 3 kids while working full time, and his father never lifted a finger to help her. Turns out, DH is exactly like his dad.[/quote]
