[quote=Anonymous]My mother and father were married for 48 years, until my father died in a car crash in 2010. They credibly weren’t a perfect couple - they had their issues - but they loved one  another and were great parents. They didn’t fight over chores - largely b/c my mother gave up on hysterical cleanliness standards early in the marriage and learned to live with imperfection. My father wasn’t at all handy around them house - although he would take a month off work in the summer while we all went away to the Cape - to do things like paint and wallpaper. (He was amazed to watch me switch out the hit water heater in my house a few years back.) Ad I understand it, the perfect house was never a priority un his household when growing up.  We children were expected to run the lawnmower once a well and my sister loved to do this as a teen. She'd put on her bikini and her headphones and ride around on the Snapper riding mower. My wife is offended when I suggested our then teen DD low our lawn. We were also expected to put away our own laundry, which sometimes consisted of us living from the bed to the chair and back over a few days. My wife OTOH would have furious fights with our DD about this. I told her just to close DD’s bedroom door and forget about it. I can say that my parents household was peaceful and happy. I can’t say that about mine. DW intends in visiting misery on everyone and acts like “she does it all.” In point of fact, I do a lot in addition to being the person besting all the pressure of earning the money that pays the bills.

I’m about ready to divorce, but largely over DW’s cheating and selfish ways and her constant insults and verbal abuse. Can’t wait to get my 50% of the marital assets and then retire. [/quote]
