[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read your whole post, but for a while I was not pulling my weight around the house, even though I am a stay at home mom and DH was in big law. The things that helped: 1. DH stopped saying anything about it and I didn’t feel as judged. This is counterintuitive, but if you look up advice from professionals about the situation, you will find that this is the first piece of advice they give. 2. I got my depression and anxiety under control. 3. I discovered the joy of listening to music while I cleaned. 4. I looked up how many hours other people cleaned each day and I was super embarrassed that I didn’t do as much. 5. DH started appreciating more the things I did do, like taking kids to appointments and activities and spending time with them. Good luck. I know it can be a huge strain and you are right that it isn’t okay when one partner doesn’t pull their weight. [/quote]
