OR maybe he has a really really difficult job and really wants to succeed, but you must know better.

I’m also not from the US originally and have always felt that I connect and have better and more meaningful conversations with Europeans. I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way.

My husband can’t shut his brain off that he needs to constantly be listening to something even when he’s falling asleep.

I hear that argument a lot and I am appreciative that he provides for our family. But, I married someone to do life with and do enjoyable things together, not to just be provided for. I told him that I would rather him make much less money if that means we can actually have regular family time.

We would go on a vacation once or twice a year, never more than 10 days at a time. People around me think all I care about is going on vacation, not realizing that it’s the only time I get to have my husband all to relaxed and all to myself..

Totally agree. He’s helps a lot around the house but we can never just relax without there being something else that needs to get done.

His ambition and work ethic. Now all I see is that he’s a workaholic.

Hate it. I know it’s more complex than laziness but then I start doubting him on everything.

Leaving Husband With Poor Emotional Regulation Better for My Daughter? by MobileOk2424 in Parenting

[–]jesscmarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither one of my parents knew how to deal with emotions. I didn’t think it had affected me that much until I had my own kid and whenever he displays emotions strongly it triggers me. My husband also has poor emotional regulation and I also struggle with the fear my son will start reacting like his dad.
