If your Husband, Significant Other, or Life Partner read DCUM -

I feel incredibly lucky to have found you, and would choose you all over again, even after all these years!!

And I'm sorry that I go into problem-solving mode whenever you talk abut work frustrations and stresses. You're too nice to say so, but I know it would be better if I just listened and empathized. So I'm working on that.

If you do not stop leaving your toothbrush flat on the sink instead of in the toothbrush holder, I am going to rip a new holder into your arm with my teeth.

If I ever find disposable underwear I am going to burn all of your brown-streaked briefs that very afternoon.

Also, I've given up trying to change you, but it really irritates me that you won't clean up after yourself and just leave your messes for me or someone else to clean. I still love you, but I wish I could change these things.

I think my wife must be two-timing me, and you must be the other man! Tell you what, if you figure out how to fix the mess issue, let me know and I will do the same over here. And I am close to a breakthrough on getting her to change the toilet paper rolls. If I have success, I will post the solution for you. It is important that we provide consistent husbanding.

While the drama in your life is legitimate, I wish there were a little room for MY drama. I would like to be taken care of from time to time, instead of always taking care of others. Your unending negativity, no matter how justified, is killing any chance at a future together. Your constant one-upping of my issues (yes, yours ARE bigger, but mine are real too) makes me think violent thoughts.

How have you managed to be so professionally successful, if you think 70% is good enough? How do I know you think this? Because you load the dishwasher, but don't start it, and don't deal with the pots and pans. You run the laundry through the washer and the dryer, but don't fold it or put it away. I wonder if the women at work clean up after you the way I have to at home? From what you tell me about the "control-freaks", I'm guessing that's the case.

I am scared we are not going to make it. Deep down, you are a good man with a good heart - But I need more than that. I need a partner. I am really only with you bc of our DC - without them, I would have been out the door years ago. I always wonder if it would be easier on them if I left you now while they are still small rather than trying to make it work, failing and leaving you when they are older.

I wish I was you.

Oh, and, your family is crazy.

Is that you, honey?

How is it's you're married to my husband? Maybe that's why he can't complete a task. Mine will unload a dishwasher but for some reason leave the pots and pans on the counter. Sweep the floor but leave the broom and dustpan out. He once told me he'd done three loads of laundry and I came home to find #1 in the washer, #2 in the dryer, #3 unfolded in a basket. ("Honey, that's not DOING laundry, that's STARTING laundry.") He'll say he cleaned the bathroom, but he didn't do the tub, or maybe the toilet. Last weekend he didn't feed the kids breakfast because I didn't tell him to. Some days it feels like I'm just following him around, finishing things.

Wow. Honey, I thought I had issues with you but after reading about some of these other spouses I'm thinking you're not so bad -- which is basically what you've been telling me. Sorry I don't want to have sex with you, but right now I value sleep WAY more than nookie.

To my coparent, who I mostly like: Yes, you're smart. Yes, you're marginally smarter than I am. But when talking to people you don't consider as smart as yourself, you can be a total condescending douchebag. And that is something I hope our daughter doesn't inherit from you.

Sorry, but this is funny.

I make more money than you. Get over it. You're still the man. And you're still my man. I love you - but face it...I'm smart and I make big bucks.
