When my husband left to spend to be with his daughter, I said to him " so you're putting your daughter before me" and he said "isn't that what you've always done ." I guess I always did but he never said anything before. He was always a workaholic and was never home so they had to have one parent. According to the experts yes your marriage comes first,which is hard when you have small children. But yes listen do what everyone says on here, you have to detach for you and have no expectations, it's hard but it is for your own good.
