@sheisapaigeturner: I know it’s really hard for a lot of women to share their struggles in marriage because they’re afraid that people are going to tell them they’re only solution is divorced. Now sometimes divorce is the solution. But I do think that many marriages can be improved by making changes to the division of labor in a home as long as there’s mutual love and respect and desire to change #marriageadvice #divorce #marriagegoals #mentalload #domesticlabor #invisiblelabor #chores
Its not about the chores. Its how he sees me be burned out, and isn't bothered by my diminished happiness because it benefits him. My stress is not a bargaining chip for his comfort

My ex thinks I divorced him because he wouldn’t do chores. There is so much more to it.

Therapy (individual and couple) saved our marriage. I was so close to packing my bags. I will say if one person is unwilling to make changes, it's not going to work.

Resentment! I absolutely get this. I resent him turning a blind eye to me carrying all the load with our twins for years. Only in the past 2 years have I been speaking up about it.

While I mostly agree, not wanting to teach your husband how to be a better parent, husband, room mate is acceptable too.

What was your solution? My partner asks for a list but making the list feels like it’s adding to my plate too. He always does what’s asked of him but I don’t want to ask every time.

That’s how my marriage ended. Except I’m the guy that was doing everything for the kid. She went to the gym and saw other men behind my back.

Had the same experience where I thought if I have to do all the work alone, I might as well be alone and have one less person to clean up after. Someone who loves you doesn't want you to suffer.

Yes. My husband and I 2ent throught this a few years ago. We had to stick through because of the pandemic. He was someone capable of change, but it took a lot of work on my part. I wont shame any...

Hey_MandyMae :
I say if you're going to do the work you have to have the patience to let the change happen but also know when the change isn't going to be happening at all.

Can you talk about women in marriages that when their child is sick THEY (the moms) are the only ones to stay home? They have to use PTO, flex hours, go Payless etc. I see it at my work all the :(

I’d love to read a book about how to proactively establish these practices/just have these conversations BEFORE marriage. Obvi there’s couples counseling, but curious if there’s a book out there.

How did you let go of the resentment that he allowed that sort of dynamic in your marriage? what made him change? did he apologize?

Laid out my expectations many times in the past 2 years now and still at the same point where he thinks even the tiny little thing he does around is “help” instead for dealing with it as mutual chores

We barely survived our child’s first year. I had a lot of resentment because he wasn’t do 50/50 of the baby tasks. We discovered what our strong suits are and we stick to that instead

I will do everything under the sun to fix issues in my marriage if that means I get to spend every single day/holiday/milestone with my kids.

Couldn’t agree more. The issue for me was that my ex would not make the changes necessary nor attend couples counseling to attempt

What do women do when they have a partner who doesn’t value their labor - especially if it’s not providing monetary value? Or if they refuse to see her work and contribution as JUST as valuable as his.

I told my ex husband there wasn’t this big thing that happened and suddenly I wanted a divorce. It was a build up of little things: not grabbing me a water while he’s in the kitchen, any time I asked
