[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if  you were a man, I would tell you to[b] expect less from your spouse regarding the house and hire someone to do more of the cleaning, laundry, yard work[/b].  I would also tell you that your spouse sounds depressed and needs to seek help (perhaps new medications if the ones currently taken aren't doing the job).

I would also tell you that you need to treat your spouse more lovingly.  Try to talk to him more and really listen to what he tells you.  Compliment him more (even if that is tough).  Tell him more about what he is doing right and encourage those things.

But, if you try everything and get no response or improvement, you need to decide what you can live with and what you can't.  But, being a single mom and working as hard as you do is not going to be easy.  If your child is young enough to require full time care, you better think long and hard before you leave.  The grass is not always greener.[/quote]

Do you want a husband or a plumber, launderer, gardner, butler, etc.?  If you want the latter, you can hire the former. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  OP wants someone who does what she does.  Why are men always trying to make rocket science out of not being useless at home?[/quote]
