Long story short wife cheated 13 years ago and since then has slowly shut down sexually. She is great mom to our kids but puts zero effort into our relationship. I have worked hard to ensure we are financially established so she has never had to work and honestly become entitled and intransigent when it comes to things she doesn’t want to do. I stay positive spend time with the kids. Listen and engage in my wife’s life help her with her commitments to things like church and kids extra curricula’s.
So I am struggling then this past week I have a friend pass away the funeral is Saturday, it’s a 5 hour flight. I am planning on attending, my wife is upset due to how busy our Saturday is and logistics with kids. She pushes for me to take our toddler with me which will help with logistics. I think this is a great idea my family lives where I am heading so I can take my son. I tell my wife since I am heading that way I can stay 2 days attend the funeral and spend some time with my siblings have 6 of them. She says no you can go for 24 hours, he is my son and you can’t take him for 2 days.
I am floored my wife goes to visit her family every year with our kids and I support a month long visit across multiple states every year. I gladly pay so she can spend time with her siblings.
I asked why she feels this way or what’s the logic behind me spending 500 bucks and not staying an extra 24 hours to see family I see maybe once every 2 years. “She doesn’t feel like it, and it’s her son”.
I am starting therapy immediately, I need to reset my expectations of normal behavior.
