I'm a married man - AMA

I can't think of anything

Nope. Not really that interesting, dude.

I have one of my own to ask.

I've got one of those at home. I can ask him.

How long have you been married?

I am going to ask mine if he fancies going to the pub for dinner.

Oh.

How long does your sympathy for a flu- ridden wife last?

Well I think it's a good question. It could be interesting to see another's perspective.

What do you think of what you read on mumsnet? Has it changed / helped how you see women?

Same here. Fancy a pint?

Sounds good IWouldPreferNotTo.

Do you think you do your fair share around the house/childcare

Do you want a medal?

Are you faithful to your spouse?

Are you happily married or.....?

Jolly good show.

No shit sherlock

Hmm, asks a question but doesn't listen to the answer...🙄

Why are you on Mumsnet? I've never understood men being on here.

@purplepears

Because large amount of things related to parenting aren't specific to mothers, other than the biological stuff it's an open playing field.

I could find some Dad specific forum for information on car seats or I could just use a large resource already existing which despite having a Y chromosome still works.

Why are you on Mumsnet? I've never understood men being on here.

'By parents, for parents'.

Yeah why should school issues, brexit, cheeky fuckers, holidays, special needs, parking arguments, houses, women's rights, politics, losing weight or gardening concern men? They are only interested in beer and football, after all.

I'm a married man Well done.

Do you like to get medals when you empty the dishwasher?
Do you tell your wife when you have done the washing?

Are you competitive when it comes to illness or tiredness?

Where has he gone?

My sympathy for my DW when she has the flu lasts as long as has the flu. If she is sick, she has my sympathies. She is a stubborn person and does not rest unless she is really ill.

It’s very informative, giving me a different perspective to how I was raised as a child. It’s caused me to realize that I have view the world through rose tinted glasses. Now I pause and try to get a better understanding of what is truly going on in a situation before making an opinion or judgment.

Do you think you do your fair share around the house/childcare?
No/No/Yes
Early on from years 1 to probably year 8 the answer would have been no to both house work and childcare. I was an ass back then. I was an early 20s selfish immature jerk who honestly didn’t know what it meant to be a husband and a dad. We got married and moved cross country away from her family and toward may parents, so she had zero support. She had no one to turn to, but eventually developed a great relationship with MIL and Fil. We have our only DC after 5 years of marriage and he is colicky but I’m never around so DW talks to PILs about what is going on, my dad talks to me and basically asks me if my goal was to lose my wife. I was shocked because I thought everything was great. I was wrong. We worked through this stretch and now the answer is easily a yes I do my fair share.

Do you want a medal?
Yes
But, not for what you think. I what a medal for my wife. She is the most confident, compassionate, driven woman I know. She won’t let me set for mediocrity, and that was what was hurting our marriage in the beginning. She knows how to get the best out of me. While doing all of this she is also a successful businesswoman in her own right, She has her own life. That is why I want a medal, for the awesome woman that she is.

Are you faithful to your spouse?
