[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married my husband after seeing him wash dishes at a party at another person’s house. That said, [b]I believe women in male-female partnerships should dial back what they do. Let the laundry pile up. Let the house get messy. See what happens. Eventually, people will be out of underwear. At that point, they can choose to wear dirty underwear or do their own laundry. [/b]

I decided I would never buy presents for spouse’s family and add all that extra work to my plate. I do buy presents sometimes but not all the holiday ones. I become very dumb and “incapable” of doing certain things.

I hire people. Spouse doesn’t like to spend the money but I have pointed out that if he is not going to do it and doesn’t want to pay anyone to do it, then he is saying it is my job.

If I had a recovery as long as yours, I would hire a personal aide to come for 6-8 hours a day to help you. You can get someone from a home car agency. This is my plan if I become ill, because spouse will leave me in the bedroom without checking on me for hours.

[b]For anyone with sons, teach them better.[/b] [/quote]

I am currently in the midst of this experiment, which I am also subjecting our two sons to.  I am tired of being overworked and underappreciated (and yes, I work full time outside the home and make more than my DH).  It is driving me insane to leave things undone but asking, pleading, writing/emailing/printing lists, sending texts, reminder phone calls, family calendars, etc. have not worked.  I have essentially gone on strike and am taking care of myself.  The rest will have to figure it out.[/quote]
