I Did Respond to This Experience, Moments Ago

you sound like me!

wow this scares me. I've only been with my wife 5 years and she is the same way. I always tell myself that one day she will get with it and start doing her share. I don't know if i can hold out another 23 years.

you seriously need to talk to her about that!
you should be sharing the house work etc.

Sounds just like my marriage too.

Finally, after a month my husband just put away his basket of clean clothes. After our 7 yr old asked why he had to clean his room if Daddy didn't have to clean his, without any prompting from me. He always says he is helping so much around the house, I must be blind and deaf since I don't see it. Yes I will give him he on the rare occasion will help, but not a regular basis. But running the vacuum maybe once a week does not consitute helping on a daily basis to me, and does not warrant any great appreciation. I take the kids to school, pick them up, pick up from most practices, do the Dr,dentist appts etc because I know about that stuff!! Make sure he has a hot supper every nite, even the nites I have group at 5:30 I make sure supper is either done or almost done before I leave at 5, which is not always easy when running with kids.
Yes, he will tell me thank you sometimes. But that doesn't make up for the fact he thinks its his duty to point out what I don't do. Of course the fact I have severe restrictions(like 5 pound lifting restrictions, no bending ,twisting,turning among others), never are considered.
Ok, I needed to ***** since we just a nite of him doing the blame game.....well you do this or you don't and you you you. Never me or I.

wow, I think I love you! Where is the nearest swap shop!

Gosh, that is such a long time to be together in the same house but living different lives. I was so lucky to have the kind of husband that was good to me. We were able to share our lives and we always put our marriage first....not that we had it down perfect :) But you must have hope that things will change if you still are there?
