[quote=Anonymous]Could you do this: (1) don't do things that enable him - just take a moment to think if there are things you might be doing that you could stop doing (his laundry is a small example); (2) deposit any portion of your paycheck above the amount that he contributes into a separate account he can't access so he doesn't benefit from the fact that you work harder - you just go 50/50 on all family expenses going forward and adjust accordingly; (3) start taking more opportunities to destress from family life and leave him home and in charge of the kids (for example, girls' weekends, spa day, whatever helps you settle); and (4) hire whatever help you need to take the burden off you at home - weekly cleaning, babysitters, food  prep services, whatever you can outsource so that home can be a more relaxing environment for you.

I am sure many on here will pushback, but you sound stressed and resentful, which is understandable, so maybe try it this way and see how things workout.  [/quote]
