[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going through the same thing. It is actually surreal to say the least. We had such great times and she was so in love. [b]After three kids and life over the last ten years she has so much bottled up resentment and can only focus on the negative[/b]. So sad. [/quote]

I think this is true for a lot of DWs, sadly.  I went through a period of this, too.  The only way we got over this hump was for us to change our lives and for DH to realize that he was not the only one who had to give up some things after kids came along.[/quote]

DW here. I am very resentful at my DH for the years of my shouldering the emotional burden of having a family. I woke up and realized that I do not have an equal partner. I don't want to lose my family, but I am questioningwhether this has sucked all of the love I ever had for DH. We are in therapy so only time will tell.[/quote]

So many men do this. I am an unmarried, unpregnant young woman.  But hearing about this happening time and time again seriously makes me wonder if the best route would be making a good amount of money and becoming a single mom.  [b]I cannot imagine the emotional loneliness of having to raise a child AND navigate the temper tantrums of a selfish DH[/b].[/quote]

This is why I have few complaints about being a single mom now. It was so much worse when an able-bodied man, who'd taken an oath, and helped produce children who were wanted, sat on the sofa with his iPad while I shouldered the entirety of our household alone. It was so much worse.

My XH broke every bit of kindness I'd ever had for him by being highly critical re petty things [ like, why was I using the dishwasher instead of doing the dishes by hand?], while contributing NOTHING to our relationship or the children. I can't access any emotional memory of ever having loved him. It's like he erased my sense of smell or a flavor from my palate. He used up every bit of love I had within me to offer him.

God, I love raising these children free of the hassle and emotional burden of being married to that man.
