[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually divorced my husband because of this.  I lost so much respect for him over the years as I took on more and more of

the household responsibilities and that led to other problems.  I also worked full time and he would sit on his computer while I mowed the lawn, paid the bills, basically did it all.  The result of him becoming increasingly emasculated and he would complain about how I was always so tired and never seemed to have time for him.  I explained that I wouldn’t be so tired if he took on some of the chores- he would for a few days but would almost immediately revert back to his old ways.

He’s since remarried to a very submissive woman and he now mows the lawn and fixes things around his house.  I think it’s great that he finally started contributing.  My world didn’t change when he moved out, in fact my household chores became less.  Win-win.[/quote]

Why do you say she is submissive?

I think women are so caught up with being men that they forget their power is in their femininity. [b]The way tog st men to do stuff around the house isn’t yelling etc. it’s coaxing. [/b]Obviously she’s done this right, she has him doing things despite the fact you think she’s submissive. I bet she’s runs that show. [/quote]

LOL!  Who has time for this?!  Coaxing someone to fold the laundry, do the dishes, take out the trash, make the bed every morning?  That would take hours!  If a man needs to be coddled and stroked to get anything done, that's pathetic and, again, clearly a lame excuse just not to do the work. [/quote]
