Hey Choc, I don't know if I should post this or not, but I will go for it.
I think your wife is WAY insensitive to say that out loud. The truth, for me, is that if I went away somewhere alone I WOULD miss the kids more than my H. They are my kids...and they are dependent on me in a way he isn't..and I would know that they would feel somewhat lost without me. So I would be tuned in to that more and feel more for them.
HOWEVER!! For the love of Pete, I'd never say this out loud. I think that is rude!
Your wife needs a wakeup call. She takes you for granted.
