Yes 100%. It's my turn to grow up and be an adult and be a full participant in our family. I'm great at being told what to do, but it's time for me to start making important decisions on my own.
I thought just because I went to work, made good money that was being a husband, I need to share in the responsibility of our family.
I think a lot of this steams from my childhood. MY father died when I was 6 years old, so I never had a true father figure, lived with my mom until I was 28 (well, collage was in there somewhere), met my wife and started living with her. I never really lived on my own or had to take on real responsibility, so I let my wife take it on.
I'm now 45 and it is time to grow up!
Thank you again for your words. I've been looking all over for some guidance.
For today I am grateful for jamaicamecrazy! See I'm trying the al anon
