[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband told me this last year. So I listened. It turned out his feelings were a litany of criticisms of our lives together, including my appearance, job, and what we do on date nights. Whatever. What was happening was he didn't have any friends, so the kinds of things you should say to your buddy about, like, how you miss the body your wife had at 24, he instead felt like he should be able to say to me. Well, he's said them now. I think he wishes he didn't. (I weigh the same as pre baby, but it looks different. My job is great and I earn as much as he does, but he apparently thought I'd do better. Maybe our date nights did really suck, but I enjoyed them.) [/quote]

How do you move forward from that? You must truly love the guy and/or have a very strong sense of self.[/quote]

Weirdly, it's turned out well for me. Before that, my response to his unhappiness had been to try harder. Realizing how deeply it went and how unmoored from reality it was freed me to stop doing that. [/quote]
