They just want to walk away from the responsibility to be in a monogomous relationship with us, but to keep all the other parts they want (money, control, kids relationships without caregiving), and then go do whatever else they want with whomever they want whenever they want. Cake-eating. If my WH doesn't want a relationship with ME, then he exists on this earth as much as anyone else I have NO relationship with, which is not at all. Or at least that's how I feel right now.
