Just want to add to the advice from calibri

I spent so much of my marriage patting myself on the back for having a good wage, supporting and encouraging my Wifes career, keeping us secure, getting tge bigger house she wanted, saving for the holidays she wanted etc. Etc. And if I'm honest I resented that it didn't seem enough for her

But I wasn't listening - that stuff was nice but she didn't ask for it, what she wanted was to be a SAHM with a husband who showed her and told her that he cared for her and would always support rather than railroad her

I wish I'd listened
