Working on a Trial Separation Agreement with MLC H

[ccgrrl]

Most of the life that I had revolved around work and he was always watching our children while I worked, so it was very difficult for us to be in each other's non-parenting lives. After I came home from work, he worked at night and I couldn't go participate in that at all (he's a musician), because I was watching the kids then.

However, that is only how our schedules were 7 months of the year. The other 5 months, we had time together during the day and used to do things - go for walks, ML, etc. But over time that stopped happening and each of us used the time the kids were in school and we weren't working to take care of other pursuits like career advancement or creative projects of our own, etc.

I know when we did have access to a babysitter, I often invited him to do things with me, and sometimes he would come but it was usually something he wasn't really interested in. Unfortunately, he never reciprocated by inviting me to do something he was interested in because he seemed to only be interested in staying home, watching TV, and having sex. Now he seems to be saying he hates/hated staying home and watching TV (sex was fine ;-]
