[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread reminded me that women are often the ones who perpetuate inequality. Many women here are minimizing OPs frustrations, mocking her situation, criticizing her choice of husband, or downright demeaning her for feeling[b] the very real weight of the lopsided expectations on women versus men[/b]. OP, you have every right to feel frustrated. There are some very helpful ideas in this thread despite the others. I hope they help you. You might also look at Fairplay, a good book with data affirming your experience and strategies for how to manage this issue: https://www.fairplaylife.com[/quote]

This has been described here as UMC women marrying UMC men who expect the woman to manage UMC "standards".

Resisting these "expectations" is a choice. Resisting these "expectations" will not result in a crisis. Resisting these "expectations" should be normalized. If you choose to cave to these "expectations" and harbor extreme resentment, that is your choice. [/quote]
