[quote=Anonymous]When I feel this way I try to think of our marriage as a whole; not just the week, month, or even year we are currently in. There have been phases where I have compromised more and worked harder but the same can be said about DH at different times.

We are in the thick of it with young kids and I do pull more weight right now but it hasn’t always been this way and I don’t think it always will be. If we intend to be married 60+yrs there will be ebbs and flows and it won’t always be fair 100% of the time.

If, though, you can look at your past, present, and your expectation of the future and see a pattern of one person very consistently compromising and their partner routinely dismissing their partners needs, this is something to consider. You may need to assert your needs more often or stop compromising quite so much if you’ve become a doormat. At the very least, it would be worth a serious conversation about actionable items that could be done to make the marriage more equitable. [/quote]
