[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband says the same thing, OP.  We met in medical school, and we have plenty of money, but I’m still not the “easy” person he imagines being married to.

I’ve heard his friends say similar things about their wives.  It’s kind of interesting to hear that men who can’t afford to have their wives get their nails done have the same fantasy.  I always thought it was about having someone who appreciated the money he made and had some idea how to spend it to make their homelife better.

I think it’s a fantasy about being married to someone who does all of the chores and carries the “mental load” of managing a family without actually having any of their own needs or desires.

Sometimes I feel like when I express a need or desire that conflicts with something my husband wants that he kind of views me as defective or wishes he had gone with a different model.  Like, “why isn’t my wife integrating the children into the school community?  She must be broken.”  [/quote]

I was very very good about the school community and everything with raising the kids including healthy food. I was bad at domestic in-home chores (because I was tired from the kid stuff). Ex still didn't get it. He has a younger new girlfriend now probably looking for a safety net.[/quote]

Hahaha!  Good luck to him!  
I’m the pp you quoted.  My sister is 7 years younger than I am.  Younger women are even more child centered with higher expectations of their husbands!  I hope you are enjoying your single life, pp!![/quote]
