[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hardest part of this for me in my marriage is that I [strike]perform some emotional labor[/strike] [i]something[/i] because I think it's important but my husband doesn't think it is. So I'm doing some stuff that he thinks has no or low value but I think has high value, and we just disagree.[/quote] Fixed it for you, and, what exactly is wrong with this? How is this "special" or different from changing the oil in the car? [quote=Anonymous]So even though I was always the one who [b]took care of the baby in the middle of the night[/b] etc. and otherwise wish like my husband and I could be on the same page with emotional labor, it's not as simple as a one way street in our household, and that's complicated, but really a good thing.[/quote] I still can't quite figure out what "emotional labor" is...because it seems to me that taking care of the baby in the middle of the night is physical labor.[/quote]
