[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH melted down when I asked him to plan our anniversary dinner. Pick a place, make a reservation, book a sitter. He looked like was going to cry. I do not understand how a 43 year old man gets to this point. I mean I do, I’ve been here, but it is unreal to me.

[b]They [/b]really are like children. I think I was like a lot of women and I thought when we had an actual child, he would naturally mature. That’s what I did. I had several immature habits and when we had a kid I slowly shaped up because I wanted to create a good environment for our child and because I felt the pressure of responsibility and wanted to rise to the occasion.

My DH just whined and complained. I just can’t describe how unattractive it is. He just wants to do the bare minimum for everything — parenting, our home, his job, our relationship, our social life. If I want anything more than just meegerly scraping by I have to do it myself. I have found myself fantasizing about being a single mom lately. I’m more ambitious and harder working than he is. I think I could have a pretty nice life on my own. But I want to make our family work for our kid— I think she’s better off with an intact family and a father who is present every day, especially since we don’t fight. But yes, I feel like this man holds me back from a better, bigger life. He is just so, so lazy, and borderline incompetent.[/quote]

You used the plural pronoun here, when you meant the singular.  HE is like a child, not all men.  I understand that it's comforting to think that all men are like this, so you don't have to confront the fact that you chose and married a man like this ("ALL men are like this, so I was always going to end up with someone like this"), but I can assure you that isn't the case.
