Hmmm, this sounds pretty much exactly what my spouse told me last weekend (except I do most of the chores OP mentioned). I guess I am one of these demanding megabitches. Here's my POV:

-- life is suffering. Happiness is an exception, not the norm. Sensitive people are brooding. We do not approach life like a dopey eager golden retriever.

-- for someone who is way harsher on myself than I ever am on others, when I'm being critical I'm already factoring in caring about someone's feelings and toning it down. It may come across as harsh, but you have little appreciation for how harsh I'm NOT being.

-- I don't need you to go easy on me. You can be direct. I can own my mistakes, and handle criticism without thinking, "how could you?" So why can't you?

-- I simply do not understand the life OP envisions. Why do I have to treat my spouse like my boss -- someone to tell white lies to, someone whose ego needs constant massage, someone whose incompetence must never be pointed out? I don't understand this vision of marriage. That isn't respect to me. That's servitude, and fear of retribution.

I feel for your children, PP. What a horrific environment to raise them in. And I bet you would fight tooth and nail to make sure you kept custody if your poor DH ever left you. Want to make sure you infect them with your toxic brand of negativity. Disgusting.[/quote]
