[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my husband went grocery shopping and picked out the wrong things - oh well, we'd make it work.
If he cleaned the bathroom and did a bad job - my opinion only. No reason MY opinion determines everything.
If he said he was going to the grocery store and leaving the children at home - I'd say, "no, that doesn't work for me. You're taking them."[/quote]

+1  This is where I fall.  All the women trying to turn every single example into the line in the sand that would make them file for divorce are really talking about already shitty marriages that this is just the last straw for them.  But in my otherwise pretty great marriage, if DH couldn't find the tahini, I'm not going to rap him on the knuckles and send him back to Safeway.  It's more about the golden rule than anything else - if I messed up something mundane and unremarkable and he turned it into a "teachable moment" about how useless I was around the house, well . . . that would be my line in the sand where I started thinking about divorce.

People are bringing baggage to this thread and then calling it objective truth.[/quote]

You're so great, but you can't even read the OP (which concerns DH's who have issues much deeper than "not being able to find the tahini" every so often.)[/quote]

This thread has drifted far, far from the OP.  I'm responding to the thread, as I state pretty clearly.  Good reading.[/quote]
