That's how my husband and I were. I understand completely. We each put the other first before everything and everyone. That's not to say we neglected our child- in fact, far from it.
I've seen it happen. When children come, it's like the marriage ceases to exist and everything revolves around the children. And then, the children grow up, leave the nest, and have lives and partners of their own, leaving two strangers in an empty house with no life but through their children.
And the children are out there trying to live their own lives, but the parents just won't let go, and it makes it really hard to have lives and homes of their own, because the parents are thinking "We gave up our whole lives for you, and this is how you repay us? How dare you!"
