I am 40, he is 51 (almost). He is self employed. Has a contract to work away for three months, starting very soon. Has worked away on about 4 separate occasions now - 2 months at a time, making silly money. I have always been supportive, but now am getting cheesed off. He doesn't NEED to go, he is self employed and goes abroad as its good money, it excites him and he gets to see the world. (he goes to war zone areas). I feel like I am just here to keep the house, etc. He says I am being unreasonable and shouldn't stop him going (although I couldn't if I wanted to! He accepts the job and then tells me..) I just feel like he is living his life how he wants it - regardless of me or not and that he would not miss me if I were gone. It is just him and me - both been married before and he has kids and I don't.. Am I being unreasonable?
Thank you all, I guess I already knew all the answers you have given me. Re my fertility questions, I stand by that that I think that is what I want, and in my hearts of hearts I guess I know I am really single - if that makes sense. Even at this age, the thought of starting all over again feels me with dread. If I am to get pregnant that is the only way as I don't have time on my side to meet somebody knew, wait a while, etc etc. Thank you all again.
