10 things your wife will stop doing when you get married

“My first wife asked me why I wanted a divorce after 25+ years of marriage. I asked her where do you fit into my life? You are not a partner in the boardroom. You take no interest in my business ventures. You are not a partner in the playroom. You take no interest in any of my hobbies and outside interests. You are not a partner in the bedroom and haven’t been since the kids were born. So where do you fit into my life. All I am is a provider; a housemate could do that for you.”

If this resonated

The Quiet Half is where I write most of this kind of thinking. A midweek essay, a weekend digest of what's worth reading. Free, twice a week. Sign up below.

If you'd rather have it in book form, I have fifteen books across psychology, neurodivergence, and ฤร  Lแบกt-set fiction, plus conversation card sets and an audio course. Each is available on Amazon โ€” or, for paid Substack subscribers at US$90/year, the whole library comes included.

If you've read a few of these now and want to talk about something specific to you โ€” neurodivergence, masking at work, the thing you've half-named but haven't said out loud โ€” that's a different conversation. Email me at lee@mindblownpsychology.com.
