Getting Past Resentment in Marriage

  1. I agree with the article and that resentment should be put aside. But to not curb his activities once he was the father of children is selfish, in my view. The mature thing is to slow down a bit and help out more. To be more home focused. My hubby reluctantly did this. He agrees now it was the right thing to do, part of growing up as a father. I would not have coped with our large family if he didn’t. Now they are older, I’m encouraging him to do more outside the home but still not to the extent he used to when single or with no kids.

    1. Of course, I was in full agreement with you at the time! And he has changed considerably since those early days. So have I. I stopped being a martyr. I learned that if I needed help and he wasn’t available that I had options. I know every marriage is different. It sounds like you have found what works for you.

    2. Agree. He didn’t have to read her mind. She spoke her mind, he got so upset she won’t even tell us what he said in return. I’m glad whatever she did helped their marriage. But he certainly could have curbed it by cutting his outings and understanding his wife.
