Partner over 10 years and happily married for 25+ years

Often, the partners I've met who have been divorced I'm not surprised by it and the partners I've met who are still married to their first spouse I'm also not surprised. I think part of it is individual personality and less about the job than you might think.

Just venting. My husband is so much into watching his tv show that he is not at all interested in planning the baby shower or even in making the registry. It just feels that I am doing everything right now and his priorities are just around watching his TV show. I get that he needs his me time but our baby shower is few weeks away and we have not sent out the invite yet, do not have the registry finalized (I cannot do it as he wants to be involved or will make changes over my selection). Contd…

I can’t help it. Love me for who I am.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.
