Not sure what I'm trying to achieve with this post. Perhaps I'm just getting things off my chest, perhaps I'm hoping for lots of sympathy, perhaps I really want someone to tell me the below is just normal...
Have three young children with my long term wife. We had them late, and it's been challenging for us all. We are in a good place now, but a few years ago we were in the eye of the storm so to speak....trying to move house, and everything related to this, as well as having children. Everyone tried their best, and we've eventually come out good.
However I've discovered that my DW - whom I love so much it hurts, and whom I desperately want to be accepted by - has been low-level griping about me to a bunch of women via social media. They talk about their husbands reasonably negatively, and share intimate information...
During this time I have been working so hard, I have let all my friends go - and certainly would feel terrible anyhow talking to others about my DW negatively...
So now I suddenly feel really really low, and lonely. It feels like it's me against a group of women.....and I feel I'm slightly estranged from my DW..
I remember when in my first ante-natal group the conversation turning to how men might expect their other half to get angry with them during labour (which shocked me)...and to be honest it feels like it's been that way ever since...
To summarise, I felt we were a close couple,...and suddenly it feels like I've been regarded as the enemy these past few years...
Not sure how seriously to take this...
