[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]feeling that what I do for the family is largely taken for granted.

that my needs (not just sex) come after the kids, friends and the dog.[/quote]

I guarantee you that many husbands also feel that way.

But any man who complains about that will get a resounding "shut up, manbaby!" from DCUM.[/quote]

I’m sure they do, and [b]the “shut up man baby” is quite often[/b] - though not always-  [b]deserved[/b].  All too often I see wives who are working full time, shouldering a  majority of the house/childcare, maintaining most outside relationships (often with DHS family too) and then you have the husband whining “but what about meeeeeeee, waaah I’m so neglected..” It is as if they are jealous of their own children. 90% of the time the problem is that the DH isn’t doing enough (and they want massive praise for the little that they actually do)- look at all of the threads on DCUM. People should think much harder before having multiple kids (and dogs!)- of course it means less free time for the adults in the household.[/quote]

that attitude a big part of the problem here - along with buying into pretty much a one-sided story of what the woman posts.[/quote]

Well it is DCUM, an online forum. Of course we will address an OP and try to help with the problem as described- and the OPs on this forum are generally women. We aren’t exactly going to call the DH up on the phone and ask for his side. Lol. The other party can seek their own advice. [/quote]

but being circumspect and objective should be pretty easy to do but it seems that there is more enjoyment here when folks just line behind an OP (woman), take her side of the story, and relentlessly dump on her DH/BF or S/O.  LOL, I don't think it's very funny actually.[/quote]

Again, we are here to answer OPs post as it is presented to us. It’s an advice forum not marriage counseling and we don’t care about being “fair” to anyone, frankly (whether it’s is the OP or her spouse). We do often ask many clarifying questions to get more information to be able to provide a thoughtful response. OPS are very often flames as well. it varies.

Yes LOL indeed. If you want some sort of unbiased marriage counseling- hire someone. this isn’t it. It’s an online forum intended mostly for fun and amusement- with occasional glimmers of helpful advice. And if you are on long enough you will be flamed and criticized (as your are doing to me). You can’t get bitter and have hurt feelings over it (which I’m guessing is the case with you). Odds are you posted a complaint about your wife and didn’t like the advice you got. It happens, move on.
