Nothing good to share.

DH continued to prioritize his work above all else. He needed "rest" during off hours, which I was never given despite a more demanding job situation (and more $$$). He resented my work and only saw that I was slacking off at home. It didn't matter that my job paid the bills. He saw himself as "head of household." He's XH now.

OP. My husband is like this. I pick kids up, make dinner, bath/bedtime routine with kids. Then after they're in bed I come back downstairs to clean the kitchen and tend to any laundry that needs folding & take the dog for a walk.. He comes home, has dinner, and then watches tv. I sucked it up when I had an easy job. Now that I have a high-stress gig with more hours I want him to pitch in more. It doesn't seem fair to me that I both support the family financially ... especially since his work has slowed down considerably over the past year.. AND do everything else.

Maybe it wouldn't bother me so much if he didn't complain about the household "slipping" since I started the new gig.[/quote]
