No, I don't need to see it. This is just food for thought.

Did you really appreciate what she did when she was taking care of your home and the kids or might she have felt like you did: "I don't think she ever really understood the responsibility I felt for this"?

There is very little respect for women who are SAHMs. I've been a bit of everything, SAHM (for very short periods), part time home and work outside and FT work outside.

I have to say SAHM is the toughest because you never clock out, there're very little short term satisfaction for completion of projects, not many high fives for a great job on the latest successful contract, sale, or positive performance review and not many raises.

Maybe you in some way provided these things perks for your W, I don't know. But don't discount this as a possible starting point in her unhappiness.

I noticed that Mach posted some good stuff to you early on about her truth. It might be worth reading again.

This doesn't mean you take the focus off you but use this in thinking about what the man you want to be might do differently.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
