I've had this complaint as well, but I agree with you completely. 24/7 together can be a killer. He can go camping with the guys and I can spend some girl time painting my nails.
There's a hug. I've spoken to a few people lately who are in a slump and so am I for a month or so now. Maybe we should all just opt out and take a road trip.
Honestly - I think if someone doesn't answer you shouldn't take it personally. Sometimes it just postpones the inevitable. Don't let small things annoy you - there are much bigger things to worry about in this world.
Sounds much like Africa, where everyone who works must support the "unemployed", who are not unemployed because there are no jobs but because the government supports them and they don't have to work. Mmm. Scary.
The problem is the thing called human rights - which extends only to criminals. They have a right to a fair trial and three meals a day and a bed, but the victims have a right to nothing. The mother and the perpetrator should be executed. Sometimes here people resort to what is called street justice and kill the perpetrators. As cruel as it looks, I agree with it. What the "human rights" people fail to get into their heads is that if people get away with this nightmare behaviour, they will keep on doing it. If they are dead, then no-one else will have to suffer. The creature is on camera - hunt it down and kill it.
Is the 1 or 2 nights a week away the problem? I don't think so. I like the idea of a man who goes away sometimes. Daily chores and routines are a killer I think. Spending time apart makes you appreciate each other more. Remember the saying "familiarity breeds contempt"? You'll be fine.
RE: is it wrong to help out my ex-wife
Of course you should - but only until it becomes obvious that she is relying on or using you.
