[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m talking about emotionally detaching and reducing effort in the marriage to the bare minimum.  I’m burnt out from a full-time job and being the default parent. At the end of the day, my kids, clients, and husband take everything I have to give, leaving nothing for me.  I’m sick of all his “work” conferences, dinners, and pleasure trips while I’m breaking my back at work and at home.  I’m just done.  He adds no value to my life anymore.   I’m calendaring my own solo bucket-list trips this year.  I’m not communicating with him outside of necessary parenting. I’m dropping the rope on anything related to his family.   I’m investing my time and income in myself, my kids, and my friendships.  He gets nothing from me. How long can this last? Long enough to finish raising kids? I won’t exactly be sad if it leads to divorce, so fear of divorce is not motivating me to keep trying.  [/quote]

Would you be happier being a SAH and not having to work (despite popular culture saying girl boss, instinctively it's opposite)? That may also be an option instead of divorce. [/quote]

In another marriage, yes. But in our marriage, he's controlling and secretive about money, so that would definitely not work. [/quote]

So it sounds like you’re dealing with a lot more than you original post stated.  You need to figure out why you aren’t putting yourself and your kids first. [/quote]

It's hard to self-advocate in a marriage when your own mother didn't do it for herself, but this is a good reminder to me that I have a daughter watching me.  I want her to see how important it is for women to set boundaries and take care of ourselves.  I don't want her to repeat the cycle.  Maybe I can't do it for me yet, but I can do it for her.
