[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH has a clout job. He travels and is rarely home. I take care of everything relating to kids, home, school, family travels, social friendships, family relationships... he just shows up where I want him to. I don't work based on his desire. It has been this way for 20+ years. I don't know how we/I survived this but we're college sweethearts and have deep affections for him. However, it has been very hard and I've been unclear angry, particularly when we were younger. Then I decided the stability of our family life was squarely on my lap wether it was convenient or not, and so I accepted my lot and made it work. The kids are grateful and thriving.

We have family friends who are both in high powered jobs and like a previous pp said, the kids are being raised by nannies or are sent to boarding school when they start being to demanding - the parents only have yes men around them at work, real life is challenging to them. The kids are left with nannies for weeks at the time when they travel abroad. In my opinion, you CANNOT have everything, no matter what you're told. You have to go into this lifestyle being realistic and comfortable with the sacrifices. [/quote]

Sounds like you're relatively content with how things turned out, given the circumstances. Do you think you'll stay married when the kids go to college? [/quote]
