In reply to Heartbroken dad. I'm heartbroken for you too -- and for your kids.

I liked your topic and I thought very insightful, but hard for me to read. I’m a very kind and caring father whose ideal father’s day was time to myself, time with the kids, time as a family, and physical intimacy with my wife. Although my wife knew what I wanted, there was never time to myself or physical intimacy…….for 15 father’s days. She would make me feel guilty for requesting that my male sexuality be acknowledged on fathers day (or pretty much any day).

Today, I had plenty of time to myself as a pending divorce (my choice) and her manipulation of kids meant no time with them either. So, kind, loving, sensitive dads who gave their all for wife and kids, but aren’t appreciated do have limits on the abuse they will take. Unfortunately…..my kids are the ones suffering.

We give our kids the ultimate in self esteem when we let them see No One is more important than our wife. We are also training them for their treatment of their future spouse. Yes, I love my sons, but I entered into a holy covenant of marriage with their mother!

In reply to B. Yeah, I can see that happening too. I'm so sorry! I pray that he'll come to understand that your children are in your house for 18 or so years, but your spouse should be there a lifetime -- you have to invest in the marriage.

I struggle because my husband loves our son MORE than me. He puts the needs of our son before mine, will provide whatever our son needs before me, and reprimands me in front of our son. I want a healthy marriage and I’m going to stay with my husband but it is really hard to be intimate with my husband and to trust him when this is continually going on. I do confront my husband in love….. the behavior continues. It is tempting to close the door to my heart. The Holy Spirit is my only source of comfort at this time of my life.
