[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I feel like a task manager and household employee. I’d like him to participate more in family life. I’d also like him to show more interest in us as a couple and not just housemates/parents (although he has plenty of interest in sex!) But for example if I ask him to be more involved (or really involved at all) in meal planning and dinner prep and to please finish work in time to do this I basically get told that he way out earns me (true) and that he is the main dog walker (also true but why does that have to do with what I am asking?)[/quote] Treat it like an exchange. "I love being married to you and would like for our marriage to stay healthy. Let's each name one thing we'd like the other to change." Then ask him to plan and make dinner twice a week, and say you'll walk the dog. Then let him say what he'd like you to change. Then you'll both feel like you're being heard and getting something you want. [/quote]
