Sooooooo many threads on here.

Same story. All fine and dandy at first. Both partners believe in 'equality'.

Then she has a baby, goes on maternity leave and all that equality flies out the window. His life continues as before (work, leisure) hers is mindnumbing drudgery. She does all the housework, he keeps all the money.

Are we kidding ourselves that things have changed that much since the 50s?

(PS I know not all relationships are like this, but it isn't exactly uncommon)

What do you say to someone who's in this situation or heading that way? (At least without looking like a man-hater or jealous)

I really am despairing!!!

Change the inequality, end the relationship, or put up with it.
