Living with my WAW 3

[Not Much Left]

SD

This is CVA here! I also have a WAW who is a stay at home mom.

Lately I have been thinking and wondering why women with the greatest jobs in the world, as hard as it is, do not feel fulfilled? Is that your Ws problem?

My W recently confided in a friend saying she has all these interests outside our family / R and has been basically prevented from pursuing them by me? Huh? We have 4 kids, and at the time she is whining about not being "allowed" to pursue her intrests, our kids were very young, 2,4,6 and 8 and me working all day. So time to do things was just not there. Anyone ever hear of putting in your time and patience?

Now that they are all going to go to school all day, it's like a flower opening. OK, now there is time, great, go do it I say. However, we as men seem to not understand, as we slave away and provide a high standard of living, that what we are doing is not valued as highly as their quasi independence.

Does any of that make sense or apply?

A few positives to point out for you:
When I went thru this before and was at home, it seemed to be easier in terms of daily interactions. I hear everyone on the "give her space" thing, I just think you being at home is a real plus.

Your so called backslide on your recent post was nothing, dont sweat it. I wouldnt even consider it a backslide. If your W is anything like mine, having a bad tone with you can mean all sorts of things you do not understand at the time.

Anyhow, this was more of an intro so I could try and get to know others here, more than just my futile effort to keep up with the god of all DBing, Nomo.

Have a good 4th with the kids
