[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I feel like a task manager and household employee. I’d like him to participate more in family life. I’d also like him to show more interest in us as a couple and not just housemates/parents (although he has plenty of interest in sex!)

But for example if I ask him to be more involved (or really involved at all) in meal planning and dinner prep and to please finish work in time to do this I basically get told that [b]he way out earns me (true)[/b] and that he is the main dog walker (also true but why does that have to do with what I am asking?)[/quote]

This has a lot to do with what he is asking. Can he cover all of the bills and payments with just his salary or does he need a contribution from you? If he needs a contribution and you have to work the same amount of hours to get that contribution then he should be working the same amount of hours towards home stuff as you or contributing the cost towards a maid service to even out the hours you put towards home life.[/quote]

What if OP wants to work? I wouldn't have had kids with a man who wasn't willing to be an equal parent on the home front because I wasn't going to give up my job for the kids and the house.[/quote]
