[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wife needed to be the 'primary' parent. Dismissed my input and opinions. Criticized and tried to control / tell me what to do about how to parent. I slowly withdrew as participating in parenting was exhausting and frustrating. She then would accuse me of not being involved but when I tried to be involved, she would hover or criticize or control or patronize me. I had to divorce in order to be able to be a dad.

Admittedly most here would disagree but before you got divorced, did you even once try to sack up and tell your Ex wife to shut her yap?  I'll bet not.[/quote]

We had lots of arguments about it. In the end divorce was the best thing. Turns out we are both pretty awesome parents when apart. We are both very involved with the kids and are very friendly with each other. I realized after I left that it wasn't just me as a dad that she didn't support, but also me as a person and I had become a shell of a person, trying to be who she wanted/needed me to be. Once I left and was able to be myself again, life was so much better. When we were married I felt like I was walking on eggshells all the time. [/quote]

I hope you got individual counseling at some point. Something is not jiving. It takes two honey. [/quote]
