I have to pipe in here. As a Mom with a career I can honestly say that for some women, the Mom thing alone, really isn't that fulfilling. For me and quite a few other women, motherhood does not define me. Its one role that I have in life. Yes, its my most important role but not the only one. I stayed home for two years with my D and just worked part time nights. Boy was that enough! I had the cleanest house on the block, suppers made every night, running a household does require effort don't get me wrong, but its all routine...nothing new. I was devoid of any real intellectual stimulation. [. . .] Some of us do need a little more to feel worth and be validated as a person.
My W is right there with you, and actually that is a BIG part of why I fell in love with her. It was very attractive to me, and still is I think, but I have been shaken by the fact that she met OM through her career (I know I have to get over that) and I am also scared a little (for the first time) of her (growing) independence (I know I have to deal with that too).
Just wanted to chime in on your post because it rang true for my W too.
