[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shift in the marriage and family dynamic is what most of us are really struggling with. I could have done anything for a year during the pandemic, but with no end in sight of some of these working situations it is just too much. I liking it to my friend whose husband is a doctor and is literally pulling 80 hour weeks sometimes. She handle that in the short term and support it. Yeah definitely, but as a new long-term way of life that's not what she signed up for at all. 
We did not sign up for work from home husbands. If some people don't mind it and are willing to navigate work from home situations that's fine and that's for that couple to decide, but to insist that every couple must somehow make that work for their family and relationship. It's not only a privileged way of thinking it's also very destructive. There is a Reason mental health issues spiked during covid as well did domestic violence. [/quote]

People don't "sign up for" many things that happen in their marriages and alter the initial dynamic. A

re you this inflexible about all those changes?

How would some of the PPs on this thread handle a life-altering change like a spouse who became, say, disabled and was at home all the time for that reason, and to whom you were at least partial caregiver at times? I know two couples to whom that happened, out of the blue, without warning, so no time to get used to the new situation. Bluntly, those families would find this discussion ridiculous and the entitlement and oblivious privilege on this thread deeply nauseating.

I'm sure PPs will rush to say, oh no, totally different, my poor DH would get all my love and care, blah blah. No, you'd be thinking about how you never signed up for [i]that.[/i] Check your freaking privilege, all you who have spent page after page yammering about your husbands who are ABLE to get up, walk to where you are, and bother you.

Either s**t or get off the pot. Either talk to your husbands frankly, like adults, explain your frustrations, and come up with a specific schedule, get a workspace rented or whatever it takes; or divorce. Just stop [i]whining[/i] from a position of privilege you don't even recognize you have. [/quote]

Got it. People should be happy about things they didn't sign up for like no sex. [/quote]
