First of all, I'm not sure that this would be a non issue in ANY OTHER MARRIAGE. In every marriage there are issues that the two partners do not agree on. Each person is an individual, and has their own way of living their life. Marriage is not easy, and requires a lot of compromise. I would not be with him for 24 years if we were not able to do that.

My husband is not perfect, but he is a very good person. He is also extremely busy, part of which as taking care of MY Mother. Something very few SIN's would be willing to do. For him, doing everything in our house that needs to be done in the time that he has is not possible. So my complaints are nothing but stressful for him. He knows things aren't ideal, but feels he is doing all he can do. And I know that feeling well.
