[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying women shouldn't work with their husbands to make this more equitable. But I don't see how it is a woman's fault if her husband is unwilling to appreciate or do emotional labor. If he is the one neglecting the duty, it's his fault. Just like if she is failing at some aspect of their relationship even though he is trying to work with her to get better at it, that's on her. [/quote] It is not. Why are some of you so hung up on assigning blame? If someone is neglecting a duty, you should start with asking yourself if it's a duty. Keeping track of extended family's birthdays is not your duty. And feeding the baby is not emotional labor. It's a freaking chore, and both partners should be adults about dividing their chores equitably.[/quote]
