I just said that same thing to my bff today...that if he really wanted the stay-at-home-and-have-no-outside-life-or-interests kind of person, then even if I tried to mold to that, I would be the one who was miserable after a while. I remember loving my children fiercely, but still longing to have adult convos, get back to teaching and making art, etc., after about a year.
Amazing it lasted that long.

On a different note, the studio is painted, electric all done, ceiling fan in smile It looks AWESOME! Now, I just have to figure out if I can afford to repair the pool mess...
