I ask because I spend much of my time and energy trying to make up for Dh's failings. I keep in touch with his family while he probably doesn't have his own mother's number in his mobile, I organise presents for HIS nieces and nephews which he forgets to deliver and post, I go out of my way to mention later that he was tired and had a bad day when he's narky with the neighbours... the list goes on and bloody on. I ask myself why women constantly care and men blunder through life not giving a flying you-know-what for what other people think of them. I'm not some uptight Anthea Turner. I am a real women with crappy housewife skills, minging kids and roots that haven't seen a coiffeuse since 2006. So how come I care and devote time to his general rubbishness? PLEASE give me your examples to assure me I am not the only one who will do anything to ensure the world thinks well of my (cough, choke) 'beloved'.
