[quote=Anonymous]In our house this is the opposite. I have focused on my happiness (or rather, me) for too long and now our marriage is suffering. Not that I take all the blame - DH has been awful the past year (stressful year at work leading up to a stressful lay off, and a few other things) and I've retreated into motherhood and my career and life at work etc. as an escape. Now that we are having (painful) conversations and DH is getting some help with his issues, and are starting to hopefully rebuild, I am deliberating trying to do things that please him like picking up more (he is a neat freak and I am not and I always blew it off and now I'm trying to be more respectful). Trying to show that I do care about what is going on at his work, and trying to plan things we can do together as a family or just us.

And he is trying to do the same, I can tell. But in 2012 I have a hard time understanding that quote as well OP. We are more "equal" in terms of our responsibilities than say my parents who had a more rigid divide of tasks - my dad worked and my mom raised kids and managed the house, end of story. So I think that saying is out of date, at least in our house.[/quote]
