I will say my husband has been a good partner and dad. My daughter and him have such an amazing bond. I dont ask him for help. He just gets things done and knows her schedule, etc. He actually gets annoyed if anyone asks if he helps me because he views it as a responsibility. I went out of town for the week last month and I didnt have to worry about a thing. I know some moms need to write extensive lists and make sure the house is stocked with food because their husbands are clueless. That hasnt been the case with us. We did have an issue years ago with unfair workloads but we worked through that.
One thing I think will help is that he just got a job offer that will be a really good move for him. It will also offer much better benefits and he will be able to get therapy (which we talked about today and he is 100% on board with doing). A lot of the reason why he confided in someone else was due to deep depression about his current job which was really toxic. But I told him he needs to work through therapy because thats not an excuse and I want reassurance that he will work on the root cause for why he would turn to someone else for some ego boost.
I know people are probably shaking their head at me for not spanorcing. But there is a little 2 year old girl who adores her dad in the mix and he has been apologetic and open to working on himself. If it was physical cheating this would be a different story but it hasnt been. And he really is a great dad with her. The kind of dad I wish I had growing up. So I will at least try to work on things first.
