[quote=Anonymous]I was married for 13 years before I got pregnant. It was great. We did roughly equal stuff.

I stayed home for 2 years with DS, and we moved when baby was 3 months old so DH could chase his dream job--which, I will note, is a 9 to 5 job and doesn't pay 6 figures. When I went back to work after 2 years, also 9 to 5, making the same as DH, DH made zero move to help pick up the slack. He still assumed I would do everything child-related, all the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, household tasks, etc. (We are car free and rent, so don't give me this "but I bet he takes care of all the car and house maintenance!")

Despite numerous discussions, despite going to therapy, DH refuses to make any effort. Oh, maybe for a day or two, and then we are back to me doing all the work and him complaining about how put out he is if I ask him to pick up some bread on his way home from work.

And that, my friends, his why he is my STBXH.....though he's unaware of that. I file Jan. 2.[/quote]
