the 2014 trivial drivel thread

User, thanks for being so forthcoming.

I can't believe he'd get 4 nights out a week to do his things instead of parenting. I know a ton of men do that, but I've not done that personally.

I'm glad he seems more engaged. Kids need their dads to be involved. Hope he comes clean and admits his faults for all of you. Home will be much better.

I've never considered myself needy and God knows, I went in to our marriage not wanting to be the whole "ball and chain" thing. I've encouraged him to pursue his interests/hobbies. You'd think that if someone has the freedom to do that, they'll be a happier person when they are home, right? But he pushed it. And what REALLY fries my chops, all these years along, is when he was here he STILL seemingly felt inconvenienced by the demands on his time. Like somehow he was owed perfect children and a perfect life. Gah!!! I can't tell you how many times I've heard "you need to tell Ryan [insert whatever]...You need to make sure Rachael [insert whatever]". WTF? Tell them yourself, dad!!! Jesus. I stopped that a couple of years ago but we operated like that for a long time.

This has been eating at me for awhile. Clearly. I'm shooting my wad now though. Stand back or risk getting it in the eye!! *twerk, twerk*
