Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.

I'm 11 Amanda. Welcome to the program. Hi, Dr. Laura. I have been with my husband for 17 years, Mary for 13.

When we first got together and dating, I was successful and we started out together. I'm 44. So when we got pregnant with my son, he's 11 now.

I was like, okay, I'm going to stay home and this is what we're going to do. So it's been, that's what we've done. We have my son is 11 and my daughter is 7 and it's been great.

I've stayed home with the kids and we've gone from having one store to five stores and my husband is very driven and work 70s week doesn't like to delegate all that other stuff.

But fast forward now to recently and my mom passed away three years ago and my mom used to, she lived away and she used to come out periodically two to three times a year.

My husband and I could go away for what exactly what I can I help you with. I mean, this is very interesting.

Separation about three months ago and he said that I'm not the same person that he married anymore and that in what regard in what regard.

He just in that, I'm just not the same person anymore and nobody is the same person anymore. What is he missing love, attention, affection, money, what's he missing?

He has like the money and that's what's he missing love, attention, what is interesting?

Okay, well then he's dumping you because you stopped being his wife.

What a dumpster to do.

I wrote a book of names because I played by the rule.

Okay, I'm going to put you on hold because you won't hush up. Read the proper care and feeding of husbands and you can probably remedy this.

Maybe he hasn't found somebody else already. This reminds me the time that I wrote the proper care and feeding of husbands because one after another.

What's he missing? I'm going to talk around it. What's he missing? I'm going to talk around it. Is he missing love, attention, and affection? Well, yeah.

But let me just say something to you women, more married.

Two simple things. Just going to give you two simple things. Okay?

Simple thing number one. Be the kind of wife. You would want to come home to.

That means the way you behave, the way you talk, what you do, how responsive you are, how kind, how sensitive, how much fun.

Would you want to come home to you? Be the kind of wife you would want to come home to.

Number two. I'm just going to give you two things. It shouldn't be too hard.
