[quote=Anonymous][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]

Some people don't enjoy coddling and flattering an adult through basic life responsibilities.  Oh, you're such manly man, you mowed the lawn while I did the other 99% of the work ooh ravish me, I submit to your manly manly will.  If that's what you like, enjoy it, but some of us are looking for an adult.  Not someone who needs us to clap for him when he wipes himself.[/quote]
