[quote=Anonymous]I'm SAH by default because we moved right after DS (1yr) was born, and I haven't found a job.  We have a very low cost of living now, and few expenses. I also stockpiled a lot of cash before leavin my job, so we have decent savings for future expenses (bigger house etc) down the line when I start working again. So this isn't about money/financial pressure. DH has a stressful job, and a lot of responsibility gets piled onto him. But he's had this job for many years- it's not like he had to step up because he got married and had a baby. He would still have this job if he were single.  Anyway, he's starting to resent me-he makes offhand comments about how he hates going to work and he's jealous of me.  Lately, he's doing zero housework.  He doesn't even bus his own plate after dinner. If I don't pick it up, it will sit there for eternity. The one delineated chore he's supposed to do is trash, but he hasn't done it in weeks.  I don't want a fight, but this is becoming really irritating, and I feel like a chore mule.  I feel like because of his resentment, if I say something, he's going to be a jerk about it and we'll get in a fight. Any advice or btdt?[/quote]
