WWYD when your partner changes over time

When I met my DH, he was a high flying professional, earning good money. He was a bachelor and lived accordingly Smile ...smoked, drank a bit too much at parties, ate McDonald's, kebabs and easy meals. He worked hard and enjoyed city living, restaurants, pubs, museums.

Fast forward 10 years.

He is now a SAHD (his choice). He hates going out in the city. He eats organic a bit obsessively. He eats 5-10 portions of veg a day and seems to look down on people who don't. He drinks but only red wine in moderation for the health benefits. He despises McDonalds etc. He spends his days on a hobby whilst the children are at school. He has no desire to earn money. He avoids cities and wants to spend more time in the countryside.

Point being: I still love him but somehow I feel like the man I fell in love with and married does not exist anymore.

Not sure if this is an AIBU, a WWYD or a chat. Just feeling confused and a bit sad that I am married to someone who seems so very different and i am not sure I like it.

Came across your post and it struck a bit of a chord, as my OH has made a couple of life changes since I met him and is currently heading for another. These are things he had chosen to do, which of course directly affect me and the dc, despite my not being v happy about that. It's also making me a bit sad that he's deliberately choosing to grow in a different direction to me. What do you think about the individual changes your dh has made?
(And you will get more comments if you get this moved to relationships Smile)
