[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is forcing you to do the bulk of childcare and household responsibilities.  Just stop.  Make a list of everything that has to be done and ask him to divide it up so you can return to work.  If he says no, then leave.

I don’t have a lot of respect for women who do everything at home.  What do you mean your husband refused to change a diaper after you had a csection?  [b]I would have flipped it and told him if he doesn’t take responsibility then he doesn’t get put on the birth certificaite.[/b]  Also you’re a fool for quitting your job because your husband wouldn’t help at home.  You hire help for everything if you have to. [/quote]

This approach does not work for men with anger/withdrawal issues. The only thing that works with my similar DH is to vote with my feet. As in, just hand him child and walk out. Then he figures it out.  Escalating with ultimatums does not work because he will ALWAYS react more extremely than I am willing to do.  Since I haven't been willing to actually leave him, I always lose.

Agree with you though that she should not have quit her job.  [/quote]
