Lionhrt and Job-all great info. Thanks! Re-reading it all.
Job-what do you mean that their term of "friend" is not what we mean? Please elaborate.
Also, looking back on it, I think there have been many, many instances where my H was jealous of attention I gave to my kids. Oftentimes, rather than join forces and co-parent (which would have stengthened our marital bond) H seemed to want to be a third kid. On my end I appeased but resentfully so. Made a BIG mistake there. As resentment kept building on my end. Often I felt more like his mother or live in nanny vs. an equal.
