[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a single childless woman who, due to my age, have dated a lot of divorced dads. I'm in a serious relationship with the one right now.

You know what? Men are perfectly capable of raising kids and running households. I know because I've witnessed them do it. Once they get divorced, the ones I've dated step up and start doing everything. But they didn't do all that when they were married.

Either the women enable them or the men just refuse to do the work because their wives are around or something. But it's not because they are inherently incapable. [/quote]

Or the woman was a micromanager and had control issues.  I have seen this a lot.[/quote]

Even if this is the case, it does't absolve the man of responsibility. If your spouse is micromanaging your efforts to contibute to the household or as a parent, be a grownup and ask to talk to her about it. Say, "I want to be a fully contributing partner, but I need to be allowed to do it my way." If she refuses to allow this, you honestly have much bigger problems. But most of the time, what happens is that both partners are contributing to a negative dynamic. One is trying to control everything, which is bad, but the other is responding in a childlike fashion by simply avoiding doing things they know they should be doing. They are equally responsible. No one is blameless.[/quote]
