[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been married for 21 years, working full-time for 18 of them (took off 3 1/2 years when kids were very young). My husband has not worked in over 7 years, yet has never booked a single doctor's appointment, orthodontist, teacher conference, playdate (okay, well we don't do those anymore), or outing. He doesn't know what classes our kids take, when their practice times are--or possibly even what sports they play. Doesn't know who their friends are. He doesn't grocery shop, cook, or do laundry. He thinks he cleans the house by running the vaccuum once a week, but refuses to clean bathrooms--and won't allow us to hire a house cleaner. The only time he leaves the house is to walk the dog and every now and then to pick up our daughter from somewhere if I ask nicely. Last night, he canceled Hulu--he canceled our cable years ago--because he says it's gotten too expensive. He yells at me about our credit card bill every single month, even though I pay 100% of it. I pay for 75% of everything. He contributes the rest from his very large trust fund. You all don't even know uneven or the depths of resentment that a wife treated so unfairly can feel. If you see your future starting to look like this, start saving money now and get out![/quote]

Why are you still married? [/quote]

Can't afford a divorce.
