It doesn't sound like you are having much fun in your marriage; why do you stay?

When you say you mow the lawn "for him", why not mow it for yourself, make dinner for yourself, do whatever you do because you want it done. If my husband were to say to me, "thanks but I wanted to do it" I'd laugh at him and say, "Nah nah, beat you to it!" If he wanted to mow it he would have done it. But you wanted it done so you mowed it.

If I feel overwhelmed with doing more than what I feel is "my" share, I remember that I could live alone and do everything or I can live with the man of my dreams, in a lifestyle I couldn't afford alone, and do everything. Makes taking out the trash easier for me :-)
