[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. We were actually amazing at dividing up the actual physical work. He did yard work, laundry, groceries, split daycare pick-up and drop-off.... I did cooking, shopping, gardening, etc. no issues there ever. I developed pretty severe hypothyroidism and it took about 6-7 months to figure it out from when the worst of the symptoms started. Like crippling exhaustion, no energy, etc. during that time, we went through birthdays and the holidays. I did what I could, but a lot of it was that "mental burden" of planning, making things special, etc. Once I got back on my feet again, he pretty much told me that he felt like I had abandoned him, didn't appreciate him, and could NEVER understand how hard it was for him. [/quote] I hope he learned a valuable lesson. Does he recognize the irony of saying those words to you (assuming you felt that way toward him prior to your illness)?[/quote]
