[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean all the posters are right about this being part of the patriarchy, sexism, etc. But it is pretty tough to solve for systemic issues of thousands of years within one marriage. All OP can really solve for is her own personal family.

And all this advice about how to make a man do more won’t really succeed if he is inherently a jackass. I’m the poster who got her husband to move to 50/50 wakeups for a special need kid — but it worked because he isn’t a jerk. Without me asking, he does laundry, trash, yard work, sweeping, putting food away,  bedtime, etc. and he has done all this throughout our marriage.

I think the one hard thing in this post is determining if this guy is a jerk or actually perhaps suffering from some sort of issue like depression.  If I were OP, I would consider the mental health aspect. But she likely knows whether this is situational or he is a jerk. And if he really is just a jerk that won’t do anything without a fight, I would likely divorce.[/quote]

Either OP's husband is a jerk who has always been like this (in which case that's on her for marrying and having two kids with him) OR he has mental health issues going on. People don't suddenly become selfish, useless jackasses within a short period of time. [/quote]
