This weekend, he sat down with his wife to discuss how burnt out and done he is, and he confessed to her that he basically feels like they’re friends instead of husband and wife, going through the motions of raising children.
His wife was not only blindsided, but his words caused her a lot of heartache. While it was a painful chat to have on his end, too, he can no longer keep waking up every day like this.
He was hopeful that perhaps his dose of candidness would help his wife try to do a better job over the last few days, but she hasn’t made an effort to pitch in more and relieve him from some of the tasks that are causing him burnout.
“I [have] an appointment coming up with a therapist already, and hope to get some closure, but [I] am concerned that the damage is done with us and that separation, divorce, and splitting our family is inevitable,” he concluded.
What advice do you have for him?
