[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The enormous amount of inequality in my marriage - financial, me doing all the grunt work, and him feeling too superior to do that because it isn't what a master of the universe does - definitely makes me not want to have sex with DH.  [/quote]

I was specifically told that because I made less money I was responsible for ALL of the household chores as well as at least 50% of childcare.

I didn't want to have sex with his sexist a$$.[/quote]

My husband also told me this...even after before getting married, I talked with him and told him I wanted an equal partnership and he agreed whole heartedly.  He used to make meals, clean things, etc.  Things changed a lot after we were married a few years and had a baby, and once he started making so much more money than me.

I work/commute 11+ hours a day, make $60,000 (but he is self employed, so we get a lot of benefits through my job that we wouldn't otherwise have access to - 401K match, pre-tax programs, health insurance, etc)

He works/commutes 5 to 6 hours a day, makes about $120,00

I just can't handle all the housework, cooking and childcare too.  I'm exhausted and feel lucky if I get 4 hours of sleep a night.  [/quote]
