W has claimed this but it isn't true. I've just tried to be a responsible parent getting them to bed on time, healthy meals etc. I was also concerned that we didn't spend enough time together (1 night out in 6 months) so wanted W to make time for us.

* H is emotionally insecure. He is jealous, suspicious, fears, worries, expects the worst case scenario, gets anxious, etc. He doubts himself as a man. He needs constant assurances from his W that everything is fine.


W has claimed this but I now know my gut feeling had been right because W was telling lies.

* was financially supporting her schooling, and paying their bills. After her career takes off, she begins to see him having a lesser important job, with lesser responsibility, and lesser income. We often see this scenario play out when the H is a SAHD. In most cases....the W's attraction and respect will begin to fade.


Yep. I was supporting her career then I became a SAHD whilst also trying to work. W didn't value it and in fact seemed to be jealous, resented me, and undermined me in front of the kids.
