[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow that's amazing OP and PP who were able to see something in art and better understand yourself.

I also one day had an epiphany that, however justified I was in being annoyed with my husband (who doesn't even understand what "emotional labor" means, much less how much he shoves off on me) I was letting irritation and resentment swallow up all my joy. And I just... let it go. [/quote]

Same here but along with “letting it go” I no longer have respect or attraction for my spouse . But I am certainly happier with zero expectations from them! For anything!! It’s working for now, have kids at home and in k-12. Not sure what I’ll decide once they leave. [/quote]

Sounds like you didn't let it go.[/quote]

I'm the quoted PP and I agree. PP didn't let it go. PP is stewing in resentment and anger. Exactly what I didn't want to do, and why I ACTUALLY stopped engaging in the same cycles. [b]DH is actually a kind, loving spouse and kind, loving father to our kids. [/b]I think structural misogyny probably seeped in, along with a healthy scoop of ADHD, but I would rather have my marriage than not have it, and accepting that, I want the best and happiest marriage I can get.

So what's his role in the household? Any examples of what he actually does with the household? [/quote]
