[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I am not looking for someone to tell me that I am perfect and he is wrong, or vice versa, so I will just ignore the posts which do that. I am also not planning to start any SAHM wars. I will just say I have been SAH, wah, and woh after the child was born, and the problems did not go away! My job was either not important enough, or not stable enough, or not hard enough compared to his.

H does not have to stay with me if he does not like me; he knows that he has fucked up twice now (he was married before), so he has his reasons to stay. The irony is, he had the same complaints of his first wife...but I digress.

As for basic stuff...I did not mean everyday stuff like taking out trash or unloading dishwasher. He does it very occasionally. I mean, if you have a child you provide for the child - and for the mom until he is older (or take primary custody). It's not something you "appreciate"; it's like I if I demanded appreciation of say changing diapers at night, or staying awake with a baby with teething pain... These are things that you just do, just because you have a baby. Same thing about playing with your child. This is what I am trying to understand and I can't! What is there to appreciate?

Are you being obtuse on purpose? Of course the stuff you mention in your last paragraph are routine things adults *have* to do. The point PPs were trying to make to you is that maybe if you were a little nicer to him, if you made more of an effort to seem genuinely appreciative of the things he does do for you, be a bit nicer to you in return and mire willing to help out with the house and child. It's true that you attract more bees with honey.

This does not solve his complaints about you, however. Boring, fat, no interests...those are serious criticisms. Are you working on that at all?[/quote]
