[quote=Anonymous]I think my spouse sometimes feels the way you feel, but what DH considers "extremely busy at work" doesn't always fit my definition of "extremely busy at work". He likes to spend time on the phone with coworkers discussing but mostly complaining about recent developments in the office. I'm talking constant phone calls. He's in sales, so he's pretty much constantly on the phone anyway, but I overhear a lot of it and I know when he's spending his time actually working, or just shooting the sh**.

Then he tries to pull the "I'm swamped!" but I don't feel like he should just be able to shirk his responsibilities to our family when he had a few hours to spend chatting on the phone. When he has a ton of actual client meetings, or is working on paperwork for a deal, then of course I pick up the slack. This afternoon he went out to get a massage and a haircut then tried to tell me how busy he was, trying to get me to tell him I had dinner and bedtime on my own, but if he has time for a massage and a haircut then he has time to do dinner and bedtime with me. The courtesy doesn't always get reciprocated.  So I guess it just depends how busy you actually are at work. FWIW I WOH full time as well. [/quote]
