[quote=Anonymous]Very similar situation here. Some things that have helped us (though not 100% solved):

1. Marriage counseling. We went to Well Marriage in VA and she met with us both separately and together. I suspect that in her private session with him she told him to grow tf up, not in so many words. She told me to stop being so controlling and let him fail sometimes.

2. Chore chart. Marriage counselor suggested this and it's been great because DH likes routine (ymmv). Dinner, dishes, bedtime, making kid lunches, trash collection are on the chart. School forms and cleaning aren't.

3. Weekly standing appointments. This also from the counselor. We have a midweek business meeting where we talk about the next 7-10 days and what needs to happen, like getting a birthday gift. And we have a Friday date night where we don't talk about kids or family at all: we go out, or watch TV together.

4. He took a step back at work, and went remote. It was a financial hit but he's so much happier in the job he has, and him being at home takes off a lot of schedule pressure.[/quote]
