I don't know if I'm being unrealistic or unreasonable, but here goes. Been married for 15 years. I don't work. Dh is self-employed
He works hard and is good at his job. He doesn't drink to excess, smoke, gamble, womanise, abuse me, go out with his mates, spend a fortune on himself or have any other bad habits.
The problem is when he comes home from work he'll exercise, shower then come to the table for his meal. We'll have a chat about the day, then he goes off to his den for the evening. That's the contact we have. I'm left to deal with kids' homework, clubs, supervising bath and bed (they do it themselves, they're 10 and 8 but need reminding when to do it), listening to reading etc.
I feel like the live in help. I'm lonely and would like his company, but he says he wants to watch sport on tv and relax in the evenings. Fair enough, but all evening?
Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?
