[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're almost a year into this and you're married and you and DH are both working from home and yet you're still shouldering most of the DL, cleaning, cooking and childcare burden, I'd say "hang in there" until you and DH can assess the future of your relationship. I'd be absolutely furious if the burden of all of that was on me after all this time. I get that society is unfair and unequal, but, seriously, why are women putting up with this sh$t in the home?[/quote]

Tbh, we have talked about it many many times. And I’ve yelled about it. And yes, I think this will affect our relationship for a long time. But I’ve made that clear to him and now I’m just trying to make the best of a shitty situation. It’s not going to help my kids, when they’re under enormous stress, to have a mother who resents and fumes at and yells at their dad. It just won’t help. So I’m sucking it up, meditating, pushing him when I can. When this is over, we will certainly see a therapist and hopefully can make it out of this together.

So I’m “putting up with this shit” because the other options available are worse right now. I’m glad your DH is more useful without you going nuclear, but mine isn’t, though he’s great In many other ways. [/quote]
