Yes, EarlGrey, we are very much in that situation. He has placed me in the mommy role. I feel held back from the things I want to do because I have to pick up my little boy from school. I have been asking him for more than a year if he's still attracted to me sexually and he says yes, but he's a bad liar.
I got in the shower with him this morning and he gave me a no-contact granny kiss and couldn't get out fast enough.
I feel like I want to separate so I can be free to pursue my interests, perhaps get an internship or second job, without him getting in my way.
I have never felt this way before. My priorities have shifted and for the first time in my adult life, my own goals actually seem more important than making some guy comfortable.
I'm not really sure how we are going to get through this passage and stay together as a couple.
