We have been married for more than 6 years with one 2.5 year old and another one coming in a few weeks. Since we have our first son, I've come to notice that I have taken up too much responsibilities in the household and he barely has to do anything other than JUST go to work, while I cooked, cleaned, childcare, finance, work, and everything else you name it to maintain a family. As a matter of fact, I even have to help him with his work sometimes (like writing his email, give opinions how he can deal with his company politics, manage his career, things like that), I feel like I have been giving and I am not getting anything back. Sometimes, I do feel like he is not putting me in right priority in his life even though he keeps saying he loves me. For example, I am going to have C-section in 2 weeks, he called me one morning and asked if he could have a work conference call 6 days after the C-section, we have already agreed that he will need to help in taking care of the older son for the first week when the baby born because we have no friends or families here (we just moved here a few months ago and neither he and me trust just any babysitter). I was very disappointed that he would even ask, I thought he would be "sensitive" enough to know it is a crucial time for him to help me. Sometimes, I do feel like he still lives like he is a "bachelor" instead of a husband/father. I told him about how I felt, but he did not like what he heard. Am I expecting too much of him? Should I ask him change? or should I just turn a blind eye to any of his insensitivities, but then I am afriad I will eventually stay lose interest in keeping this relationship for his insensitivity does make me feel unimportant.....I am open to any comments, suggestions, views
