He just doesn't get it why I would need to be a 'woman' in addition to a 'mom', and why that 'woman' likes to feel taken care of and protected sometimes too.
Ya know this same thought hit me a while ago. After we became a family, I started seeing "US" as WAW, me & DD's. I stopped seeing WAW & I as a entity that needed time and nurturing in order to keep the 4 of us together. I didn't ignore WAW, I just saw her more as a mom than a wife, lover, woman. I loved her as the mother of our children rather than focusing on her, her thoughts, her ambitions, her feelings. I could see how an OM w/o all those other ties to kids, house, etc would focus on her and not be distracted by other things in life.
