[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To address the problem, it would probably help to frame it better. Is it really the difference in stress levels?  Or is the problem that you are both the primary breadwinner (with all the stress/long hours/etc  that comes with it) and doing the lion’s share of the child rearing/housekeeping etc.

I suspect it is the latter. That’s a hard situation to be in. See what you can do to change patterns of who does what. Perhaps counseling? If you don’t have kids, just cut and run. [/quote]

I personally would not feel better with a husband who did more on the home and kid front so I could endure external stress better. To me, external stress is different than home front stress. I have no problem being busy, dealing with kids, renovations (which I am currently managing actually), etc. If sometiing falls through the cracks, I don’t feel dread about it. If I mess up an important presentation because I am juggling too many things I feel dread because I could lose my job.

I don’t know how other women feel, but this is how I feel. I was told I SHOULDN’T feel this way, and that is why I married my husband when deep down I knew it was a mistake.[/quote]
