My dh doesn't seem to appreciate just how easy he has it. Been married ten years and have two children together both under 10. I get them ready in the mornings and do all the school runs, all the cooking and looking after the house, I pay half the household bills if not more yet he earns twice what I do.
I work shifts which always fit around the kids so never had to use childcare. I take the kids to their activities and do all the school work etc. Dh comes home to food that I have prepared and leaves the dishes in the sink. He will then sit on the couch for the rest of the night watching to until he goes to bed.
Due to changes at work I have had to pick up some extra hours. On these days he gets the kids up and takes them to childminders before work or I do it depending on what time I have to be at work.
He doesn't help me or the kids with anything but yet if any of his friends or friends wives call him to do anything he is there in a flash.
A few weeks ago he flipped out and called my cousin to say that I dont do anything and that I don't even cook for him saying what is a wife for etc... It's like he expects a traditional wife in the home and then a modern wife to split the bill. I am continuously running on empty because I do everything and get no break. If I work weekends he visits friends and the wives cook for him. I am assuming that because of this he wants me to serve him. There is no partnership in the marriage and I can only assume that when he visits these friends he wants me to be like their wives.
We were born in the same country but I was raised here, he wasn't.
He told my cousin that if I want a divorce I should tell him. He has not told me this and has not spoken to me even though we live in the same house.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
