LITB, thanks for your post. I know . . . I have to take whatever sh!t my H chooses to lay on me, and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it, so yeah yeah, I have to make the best of it and not be bitter. I KNOW that. But I still think it's just BS that this can happen. If my H wants to choose to be a part time parent because it's worth it to him, more power to him. But it's not right for me to lose my kids 50% of the time. And I agree with 3, if I knew that I would only get to see my kids 50% of the time, I wouldn't have had kids. (That's not to say that I regret having them, of course not, I love my kids; they are my everything.)
I wish I had known all this stuff (like that he can't handle any kid of expectations or obligations) about my H BEFORE we got married. Or maybe (probably, in retrospect) I did and I was too stupid to pay attention.
BTW, I am generally positive and confident (and attractive if I do say so! ) Just have these thoughts that I need to get out sometimes.
