[quote=Anonymous]OP some of the posters are being awfully hard on you! All of these things ARE as ridiculous as you think they are- you are generally not wrong.

However: unfortunately, a lot of them seem to be the norm. You’ll have to let a lot of it go (as most of us have learned) if you want to remain married.

I really really relate with the “relaxing for an hour in the bathroom” yep- effing ridiculous. My kids are all elementary aged by now and my DH has done this since forever. On the weekends or days we are at home a lot,  he is in there for 30-45min relaxing up to 3-4x/day, no joke. BUT you’ll find you have little choice but to put up with it. Showing contempt will damage your marriage and ultimately that will affect DB. You have to decide what you can put up with.

Again, most of your feelings are totally normal and a lot of us have been there.

My advice is to focus on being kind to DH, and continue asking for help nicely. You don’t need marriage stress right now. Focus on DB, get help from other sources. In many ways DH will probably really come through and surprise you if you are patient. Most men do, as babies get older and they can relate better with them. On other things, I’m sorry to say he probably will NOT come around but that is life and marriage and there’s not much you can realistically do.
