Happy anniversary Evan and wife. I’m an RN and so empathize with your wife’s journey especially how I was more grumpy with my kiddos and lack of sleep too. Estradiol patches (hrt) were a life saver for me when I entered menopause as well as 500 mg of magnesium glycinate at night helped greatly with insomnia. I’m sending both of you good thoughts and thanks for always sharing with this community what a great marriage can look like. You’ve always walked the talk! 💕
Definitely Magnesium has helped, morning for pick up and night for good sleep...and physical activity is a must, the best are walking, yoga, pilates, weights in that order... for your fifties...it’s life changing...
I completely agree with Barbara...that’s a reality...I applaud you for searching tirelessly...I didn’t because living my own life brought me happiness and balance...and still does, without a significant other...even though I wish I had the + in Plan A...but not having a plus is not a minus, it actually allows for exponential growth...
This does not seem like a great marriage to me. Giving up a career to be the school mom is a path to losing yourself. The writer here is an expert in humble brag. Just not feeling like these two are in a good situation.
My wife chose to give up her career to go on “eternity leave” and is appreciative that she had the freedom to do so. She also disagrees with your assertion of our marriage and says “Why are people so mean?” 😆
You wrote about it. I didn’t. When you write about stuff so personal you leave yourself wide open to people’s opinions. It’s not unique to me to see what happens to many women and also men when they give up their career for such a long time.
If all you know about our marriage is this post and insert yourself into it, you could have a point. What you don’t know and couldn’t know is that I am a vocally appreciative husband who regularly celebrates his wife, cuts her breaks, and gives her time without me and the kids. It’s like you decided the half-empty version of me and my marriage was the reality. Maybe click on the linked post from my 10 year anniversary to see the other side of things. It’s called 100 Reasons I Love My Wife. 🎤

Thanks for the note, Nurse Felisa! We really appreciate it!

Happy Anniversary! ❤️
I’m not upset. I’m happy. So’s my wife.
