[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m assuming this has happened before - many, many times. One does not become a man-child overnight. How did you handle it in the past?

I wouldn’t stay married to someone like this; it’s that pathetic. Can you leave?[/quote]

He’s never done exactly this but he has been a jerk about me basically existing as a human with needs and feelings. It comes and goes and I guess I’ve always convinced myself that I was out of line and asking too much and I’ve sort of shrunk myself to avoid more issues. I live across the country from most of my friends and feel pretty vulnerable because I don’t have family to go to for support. When our second child was born he took a ton of work travel that was quite optional including multi-week stints in Asia- he was gone for ~100 days the first 6 months.

I can’t leave- with no living family of origin I don’t know where I would go. I do have 
good friends but not so good that I would be like “I don’t know where else to go.”[/quote]

He does this knowing you feel stuck. Better come up with a plan, before the timing is out of your hands. Stop expecting any emotional connection or change from him. Ride it out w/o conflict while you get your ducks in a row. NO more kids. He’s not into you and family life, the marriage will not last. He is likely having an affair and that is where he went. Focus on your career, getting copies of financials and doing some lawyer consults. If possible, plan to relocate yourself and kids back where you may have more support. You need to have no illusions about him, OP. [/quote]
