His career is going really well at the moment in all directions. I'm aware I should be pleased but I'm not. And my support and advice have certainly helped in one area at least. So the will for him to do well was very much there. And as he points out he is the one who pays the mortgage. However.....
He is now working long hours/away alot leaving me with childcare duties. I work p/t so I can do this but I can feel trapped.
He's a good dad but after work and that, he has little to no emotional space left for me.
People around us seem under the impression that all I want to do is talk about him/his work. I continually get asked about him etc This has always been thus but in recent times it has increased and I'm feeling like his pa.
I can't really explore this in real life. And yes yes yes, I know I have to work on my own stuff/self-esteem but my career will never be glamourous. I don't like feeling like this and wish I didn't.
