You can repeat it until you pass out from lack of oxygen. Things are what they are, if the posts in this thread are any indication. You either deal with it or move on.

Does that about sum it up, folks?
The question is, why would either one be lying on their "dead ass" while the other is doing what they feel is more than their fair share.

Getting to the honest root of that would be very important. Is it physical exhaustion? Stress? Some feeling of just not giving a #### anymore?

My guess would be that, if this is a CHANGE in behavior, it's most likely the last (unless there was some change externally also, like a significant job scope change) Not to suggest these are the only three possible reasons, but my guess is it's one of them.

So, if it's the third, WHY is there a change in caring about the home? Why is there a change in behavior?

Like I said previously, marriage is 100%/100%. Each one gets some amount of time of not pulling their 100%, while the other bridges the gap. That also means that each one is responsible (100% responsible) for working on getting the one who isn't pulling 100% back to pulling 100%.

Who knows why people do the things they do to mess up a perfectly good relationship? If you could answer that question, you could write a book and make $10 million.

Hmmm. I might just try that.
If it works, then there is 1% in it for you...for inspiring me :huggy:

Whenever these threads come up, I wish people gave an opinion and signed it with a status....

i.e.

* Married 23 years
* divorced 3 times, 1st marriage 3 months, 2nd 1 year, and 3rd for 30 minutes.
* Single, never married and I’m 40.

Just sayin’ :whistle:
Male, mid 40's. Going on 11 years for the second time :lmao:

My wife has taught me how to be a better husband, and I'm trying to improve every day. My first wife and I were simply incompatible.

I'm not suggesting incompatibility is not potentially out there, but I do think it should be the last thing considered.

I'm currently married to an absolutely wonderful, non-perfect, compatible woman who accepts my faults as I accept hers, and that helps us work well together.
:howdy:
 
Uh, yeah.

Why don't you try having a few adult relationships under your belt before you tell everyone else how to do it?

:rolleyes:
I can't wait until BuddyLee and Aussie tie the knot cause I plan to crash just to hear his "... as long as my love shall last" vow. :smile:
