[quote=Anonymous]PP here with one more thought. You say "I have talked til I was blue in the face." Well, obviously, whatever you are saying has no impact. Perhaps you are blaming him and attacking him, and speaking to him with contempt.  Perhaps your general lack of respect for him (and his measly 65K that has left you feeling like a "fool") is coming through loud and clear. You desperately need couples counseling to help you both understand each other and solve your conflicts. This man loves you -- he married you -- you are the mother of his children. You don't say anything that suggests he is not a decent guy other than that he doesn't earn a lot of money and doesn't do a lot of housework or child-rearing. I can understand why you are unhappy about that, but it's a common problem that can be talked about and worked through. You guys need to have a person who can help keep your conversations constructive so that you can understand each other. If the first couples counselor is not one that you both like, find another one. Don't present it to your husband as you need to go to counseling so that he can be fixed and become just the way you want him to be. That's not what it is. It's about learning about each other so you can become emotionally closer and better able to work as a loving team.  [/quote]
