[quote=Anonymous]I am a middle age man married to the only woman I've ever loved.  We met in grad school and have been married for a while now.  We have 2 beautiful and amazing kids aged 5 and 3.  She's always been demanding, to be sure, and I have always been willing to adapt to meet demands.  That was always part of our dynamic.  But that dynamic has declined over the years.  At this point, I cook every meal for us, drop off and pick up the kids every day to and from daycare, clean the kitchen and dining room at least twice a day, and get groceries and victuals every single week.  She does a lot of the laundry and I put it away (I've told the kids this is a game and it has taken so...).  I'll be damned if I do not get harangues, at least a few times a month, about how what I do is not being done correctly, and about how I can do better.  I have a full time job and I stay up until all hours of the early morning to make sure I am being conscientious.  As I sit here typing this I am in tears because I don't think I will ever be good enough for her.  I don't even want answers at this point but I had to tell someone that this is just a really painful set of feelings to endure all at once.  I know I'll get ripped to shreds by the DCUM angry people but I don't care.  It was worth it just to have some trace of my feelings somewhere outside of this house.
