Second, I am not resentful of his children. I encourage him to do things with his children all the time, when they are in our home, on our visitations. It's when THEY ARE NOT with us, when they are on their mother's visitation, I am ignored, and lost. ie, would like more 'couple time' with my husband. etc.
Your conception of friends, and mine are two different things. I do have a 'social life'. I do not rely, and never have relied, on my husband for this. When I have the need to interact with people I do... I volunteer my services to little league, soccer club, my local community quilting guild. You can not assume based on one post that I do not 'venture out of my comfort zone.' On the contrary, what is not written, is what you misperceive as antisocial. I am not.
Please do not criticize me, because I did not come here for that. It discourages me further.
I actually was very enlightened to have EnergyAZ's perspective on things, and gave me something to think about...
