HeadFullOfStardust :
Some of the best advice I ever heard was to put your marriage first. Of course don’t neglect your kids, but you have to keep nurturing your marriage - keep dating each other. Kids grow up and leave, and when they do, if you’ve neglected your marriage, you’re left with a roommate instead of a partner.

Cancelled a 15 year anniversary trip to take the kids someplace they’ve been because she couldn’t handle it. Yikes.

It's not devotion, it's enmeshment. It's a toxic behavior and I'm glad the children understand that. Narcissistic mothers often force their children into an enmeshed relationship as they do not perceive said children as individuals, but as extensions of themselves.

The fact that the children feel more comfortable at their dad's place, tells you everything...

The fact is that marriage DOES change when you have young kids! Some men can’t handle their needs being second. And women like this smother their kids and they hate it. Never stop dating your spouse, but these two just weren’t compatible.

I saw someone say put your child’s needs first but not wants.

She’s created a toxic relationship with her family, and it eventually pushed everyone away

Sometimes you have to put your kids first, sometimes you have to put your partner first, and sometimes you have to put yourself first. It's all situational, and not always equal. Relationships evolve over time, and so must your expectations and how you allocate your time

Honestly, it wasn’t a good match. OP didn’t appreciate the memories and family the wife wanted to create. He resented her for it because he wanted to live the romance care free life afforded to young people who don’t have kids

Your spouse comes first. Period. They will be there after the kids have left.

I think there's more of background in this history. I think he never was a partner in parenthood and for some reason she didn't have confidence about let their kids alone or something. Since my perspective, he's not a victim.

Your spouse should be a notch higher than the kids, but only a notch. You’re in your marriage/relationship for life and it needs to be nurtured. Your kids are only there for 18ish years, there’s a whoooole lotta living to do when they’re independent.

cat-heesi :
I'm thinking the mom's attitude was because of one of two things... either her parents were like that with her and she thinks that's how to parent, or her parents never made her a priority so she went overboard to make sure her kids never felt that way

I had a friend like this. she insisted her boys sleep with her even while they were 9 years old. her husband ended up sleeping on that recliner. finally he kicked her out. And the kids ended up staying with him. crazy
