[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know that I really agree with this line of thinking. Maybe my husband is more..malleable than many men? I wouldn't have thought so but my take on this kind of thing is that bottom line, I don't take crap. I deserve to be treated a certain way and I am going to get that treatment.

When we were first married, he did that thing many men do where they go to the grocery store and came back with a bunch of junk. Unh uh, sorry, your ass is going back to the store to get the real food we need. And yes I will ridicule you because you deserve to be. Thirty years old and you can't scan the cupboards to see what we need? Fucking no. He leaves his dirty dishes by the sink for me to clean or whiskers in the sink? I'm not your fucking maid, this is unacceptable, clean them now before you go to work. You thought I was going to do all the night wakings and take care of the kid by myself while you "baby sit" some times? No fucking way, I will divorce your ass over this. You're going to tell me you'll do some house project so we don't have to waste money on hiring it out but then not do it? Yeah I will inform you how childish and irresponsible that type of behavior. I'm not going to play nice about bullshit like that. Point blank, if you want to be with me, you will treat me the way I want.

We've been married over ten years, together for 15, and I've basically turned him into the husband and father I wanted for myself and my children. Don't take crap, ladies. You're better than that.[/quote]

What about things like date night and vacations? Seems to be a point of contention for many couples (the women want these things, men don't).[/quote]

I guess we compromise on those things? He likes to eat out at nice restaurants (I like it too but less so), and I like to see movies and show,s so we do both: go out to eat then to a movie. We both like to go out with friends. We leave the kids at home probably 2-3 times a month on average. We also compromise on vacations. He likes to go the same place every year so we do that for him and then plan 2-3 other trips because I like to do that. But if I didn't, yes I would involve him. I would tell him that I don't think it's fair for him to put all the burden on me when he wants to do these things too and gets a lot out of it as well.[/quote]
