Hey men, I’m a 37F married woman. My husband and I have 2 kids. I consider myself an adventurous person. Part of what drew me to my husband is his outdoorsiness and sense of adventure as well. The problem is, I’m not who he wants to adventure with. I’ve learned a decade into marriage that he only wants to adventure with his buddies. I pictured us camping with our kids, kayaking, hiking, repelling, biking. U name it, I thought our adventurous little family could tame it. I’m grieving the marriage and life I was hoping to have. Why aren’t I the person he wants to do these things with? I understand we live together and people need their friend time and time away from their partner. He’s immensely busy and my days are spent at home holding down things and supporting us that way. I want to get out and adventure too. But why can’t there be some balance or inclusion of our family in some of these activities? And I’m not looking to be included in all of the adventures/activities he holds dear. I respect his hunting/fishing time. But I’m extremely sad when left behind for a new adventure. Signed, Sad adventure wife submitted by /u/Suggestedpassword123
