[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in your position and it turned out my now ex was fully exploiting me and taking advantage of my obvious and understandable distraction. But it was all my fault of course!

Then he cheated and I divorced him. Not what he wanted or expected.

This current situation is full of red flags. Start looking at your finances now. [/quote]

Oh stop. There are no red flags, just the reality of two working parents including one in finance.

I suggest paring back on everything, no activities. After school nanny instead of after care. Plus, perhaps you can look for a new job OP. [/quote]

I totally disagree. All jumped out at me:

Guy is making $160K and doing no drop off, no pick up, and no dinner. Unless he’s on a strict upward trajectory in finance and this is only temporary, he’s not making enough money to justify being this checked out.

He still prioritizes workers while OP is drowning.

His response to all this is to say he “regrets having kids”.

None of this is good. [/quote]

Talking about regrets, all-or-nothing attitude, rigidity, refusal to problem-solves, are hallmarks of depression. As is being really self-focused.

He needs to accept that he doesn't earn enough money to behave like this. It's hard for some men to wrap their heads around that disappointment, but it is what it is.[/quote]

Yep, he’s treating OP like a SAHM except he doesn’t make that kind of money.[/quote]
