[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 158596, member: 3647"] I think that this is very common. I wonder if the day-to-day dealings with the kids and the house are either too much for him to handle (guys operate on logic, women operate on emotion, and when you are dealing with mental illness, men equate that with emotion a lot) or if he feels like he is in a role, you are in a role, they are gender specific, so all is well? My dad did this a LOT. My mom told me when I got older that she complained to her mom about it (my grandmother). Grandma told her to buck up, "at least he is a good provider". I think that was advice given from someone who grew up in the olden days. If it bothers you, you have every right to discuss it with him. My advice is to make a date with him. Does not have to be a going out date, just make plans to spend some time with him. When you get that time, and you have his undivided attention, talk to him about it. Tell him exactly what you just said. But don't so it when you are upset. He could get defensive. Best of luck to you sweetie. [/QUOTE]
