[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a nice party at our house for our daughter’s birthday. Asked DH to take the kids out for lunch so I could get the house ready. He went out and picked up lunch for himself, only bringing our youngest after I made him. Proceeded to eat in the middle of everything as I was getting ready. Party is a success, kids and parents eating, drinking and having a good time. I ask DH to get the piñata and hold it - he proceeds to try to hang it from a tree and I tell him not to. He gives up and I end up asking 2 other parents to hold it instead. I keep the food going. I clean up the party. DH just talks and invites a friend over. I ask him to put the kids to bed afterward because I’m exhausted. It takes me asking multiple times and getting really angry before he does it.

What am I doing wrong? Can our marriage be saved? [/quote]

Op it sounds like you micromanage, and are a bit manic.  Tell him to set up the party games.  That’s his job.  However he does it is not up to you.  You seem to have treated him like an incompetent idiot, When in fact asking an adult to hold a piñata is a lawsuit waiting to happen and your dh was doing the right thing.  What are you really angry/resentful about?  You are a team but he is not a servant.  It sounds like you didn’t really enjoy this whole experience.  Maybe you were putting on a show for everyone else and making you and dh miserable.  Maybe you all would have been better off celebrating the birthday at a restaurant with just the kids.[/quote]
