AITJ for leaving my husband because he our anniversary
I am 35, I am married and I have two children. I don’t work and take care of the children and housework.
My husband is quite wealthy. He works a lot to provide for me and the children. I appreciate and respect this very much. But I feel like I am losing connection with him.
After the birth of our second child, which has been during the last year. We barely spend time together, we started arguing more often, and he stays late at work more often.
Instead, he gives me presents, pleases me and the children. However, I have repeatedly said that we should spend more time together as a family. During the year, he has never fulfilled this promise.
Also, he completely stopped being interested in the children as well. He has no idea what after-school clubs our older daughter attends. What her academic success is and how our younger daughter is developing.
Instead, he is constantly disappearing at work and business meetings. Several times, when organizing dates to be alone together, he missed them. It was hurtful to me, and every time I said that if this continues to repeat, I will just leave.
And so, one day, I hired a nanny and rented a beautiful chalet by the sea so that we could relax there together for our anniversary. I informed him about this and said that I would be waiting there. However, he didn’t even come, and he didn’t answer calls.
Arriving home, I just packed my things, the children's things, and left. I left him a note where I explained that I was tired of living in the status of a single mother.
He, however, still doesn’t see any problem in the fact that we barely communicate and don't spend time together, and says that I acted rashly.
