[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Three kids, ages 13, 10 and 6.

I dug this hole for myself.  I thought that by supporting him at home (not financially) I'd help his career, our family, our life.  I also thought that if raised the children and assumed most daily responsibilities pertaining to them, kept the house together and food for all, he'd certainly be able to lend a hand with heavy lifting, literally.  Instead, I'm living with inoperable/broken appliances, faulty lock on our front door, a dark entrance, I could go on...he does not care or pretends not to notice.[/quote]

Talk to him and stop whining.

The dynamic is that both you and he are likely used to power relationships, not partnerships.  DH now treats you like an employee in the marriage because you're not making much money.  You treat him like an employee in the house, that small business that you run.  He expects you to be his maid; you expect him to be your plumber.

You both dug this hole for yourselves.  The best thing when you've dug yourselves into a hole is to stop digging.
