Just Need To Vent

Christina12 · 03-18-2009, 07:42 AM

About a yr ago my husband lost his job like many of the Americans in this world. We decided that it would be ok for him to hang out for awhile before going back, never realizing at the time that our country would be at the state that it is now in. But it was good he was able to fix up our rental property and other things. Decided to go back to school to get refreshed on a old trade that he used to work in passed with flying colors. Still having a time trying to get a job. Now we're in the process of selling 2 houses and moving into our dream house... He can't seem to understand why I'm wacked sometimes. Everything has pretty much landed on my shoulders. When I ask him questions about a job interview or making phone calls about the houses we're trying to sell, he says I'm always B..ching him. And that I always mean.. I don't get it... I'm looking at a pat on the back but I've always thought and been told by others that I'm a great wife. I do all the cooking cleaning and making sure the bills are paid and that everything is up to date. The man really doesn't have to do a thing. Yeah I complain when he's left items out or can't get the clothes in the laundry basket but it I DO IT ALLL... Would be so bad for him to think oh I should put this away for her???

I'm sorry I keep going on I just needed to vent...

If you are working and paying the bills and he's home all day...you shouldn't have to life a finger to do laundry or cleaning. Just think if he was the bread winner and came home and you hadn't done anything to help out around the house!

If one person in a marriage is working, it makes sense for the other to do the housework. If both are working, split the housework.
