[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP.  My DH works 70+ hours a week, and I am a lawyer.  DD (3 yrs) is in daycare.  We feel like we were dragged down rockville pike and back.  Utterly exhausted, no sex life.  So daycare and your DW are probably not the answer.

IMO, DW sounds spoiled.  She doesn't have to care for your children AND work, PLUS she has a housekeeper?!?  I'm up at 1:30AM working, cleaning, hanging laundry, etc.

I am sorry she is not more of a partner for you.  She needs to get a grip and smell the roses.

As for you, however, you indicated you are fighting, and in her defense I do not know much from your post about your contribution to the marital problems.  Like, do you downplay her work in the home?  Do you say nasty things that are verbally abusive?  Do you harp on the fact that you bring home the bacon so what you say goes etc.?  If so, you need to check yourself too.

I hope my insight is helpful to YOU, because I am sure I am going to get an earful of grief from SAHMs for it, but I am just keeping it real regardless of what the nay sayers might say.[/quote]
