[quote=Anonymous]Yes.  Not happy.

He schlepped thru his career, switched careers and sort of hit restart when we got married - like started back at THE BOTTOM.  We were mid-30s.

So now, 5 years later, he's working 70+ hours a week trying to get ahead with his career.  Now, mid-life, he's doing what he should've been doing 15+ years ago.  And it's killing our marriage.  He's never home.  Never helps with anything or does anything.  I take the responsibility for all childcare, like drop offs, pick ups, dinners, lunches, hanging out, extracurriculars, etc.

I also pay the bills, clean the house, do all the shopping, all the yard work, car maintenance stuff.  Really everything.  Plus I work fulltime.  Ok, sometimes he puts DD in the bath.  And he drops her off at school once a week (not the pick up though).  But that is IT.  and I hate our marriage for it.  I wish we never had kids at least.  Then at least I could have some semblance of a life other than caretaking for DH and DD.[/quote]
