[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He had no ambition.
He didn't read.
He was terrible with money
He had mood disorders--
He drank too much.
He made us walk on egg shells.
He wasn't fun to talk to so we didn't talk

We met young and it was great for a long time because he was fun, social, adventurous, we had the same friends, he was good looking etc.   Grow old and all that wears off.   He eventually cheated on me.   I am so much happier now.

Same. I don't get why they change What is it about the younger years that they think they want a married life and then hate it? It's not like they didn't grow up in a family and don't know what they are getting into.[/quote]

To add on, it's a mentality thing. The doctor this morning was so friendly and caring and kept asking questions making sure I was ok and checking that he did everything well. Huge smile. I told him I noticed how alert and attentive he was and he said it was because his 3 year old is always an adventure in the morning so he's wide awake by the time he comes into the office. Was talking pridefully about his wife having a new baby. He had a job in the morning and a preschooler and a pregnant wife and it was like nothing could keep him down. I don't understand why for some people it's just a facade and how you weed that out.[/quote]

How do you know what he is showing you isn’t a facade? That’s very common among doctors. They are at their best with patients not with their own families.[/quote]

Maybe but he was just very attentive and kind and just happy. Seemed easygoing for me but conscientious for himself. He did all the work himself. I was just struck by the words he used to talk about his more annoying family duties in a positive fun and genuine way rather than whining about life. Maybe he is a terrible father, but at least his mood is better.[/quote]

Yes dear that’s why it’s called a facade, it’s because it’s incredibly convincing.  You have met more than one man in your life who thinks he loves his family and probably acts like he loves his family to the outside world but gives them a very hard time behind closed doors.  We all have.[/quote]
