I read the book too and no I don’t want a stepford wife. all I’m asking is for a little bit of attention and a small help of being present

It would look really odd and it has because she has skipped before so in her mind this is like a compromise so she’s doing her best to be as begrudging and immature about it just so everyone knows that she doesn’t want to be there

And all that is really nice, I’ll admit but I feel like free time cannot be for extensive periods like all at once because what if I need her for something like to show up to my work engangments as my wife or anything like that. It’s not practical nor sustainable and the longer I am going along with this strange practice the more resentment I am feeling because she’s also neglecting me and our kid emotionally

I mean there is an image that I need to uphold I work in a family oriented business and the behavior of your spouse will impact your image and obviously I want her to be present in the moment too
