[quote=Anonymous]I think my spouse and I simply communicate in radically different ways, and I am not sure that those differences can be overcome.  I tend to do most of the house stuff (over 70%), including laundry, bills, yard, etc.  And I never complain about it or even discuss it.  The stuff just needs to get done, so I do it.  My spouse, however, is the opposite.  Spouse will do a few things on Saturday, and then will complain to others and me about tired spouse is from being so busy and getting so much done.  Spouse does do a few things, but is extremely slow at them and frankly does not accomplish much.  Spouse then wants to talk about what "I" did.  I, instead, might say, if anything, that the laundry was done.  Spouse does the same thing with the kids homework, most of which I monitor.   I might say that son has finished math, but needs to complete his reading.  Spouse will say I got son to finish and I am so tired.  Spouse complains all the time about being so tired and being so busy with family duties.  I find it completely ironic, because I never complain and frankly do much more than my share.  And I get very annoyed when spouse goes into these complaining modes, as if spouse had something really to complain about.   [/quote]
