Ok, doesn't sound too bad, but have just gone back f/t. He said he'd told his boss he'd completed a project which he hadn't and said he had to do it that night (which btw was totally unrealistic as would take ages). So he got to sit on the computer that evening (as predicted not finishing the task), complaining about having to work in the evening and leaving me to sort dinner/washing up/washing/organising ds etc.etc. He's pretty career oriented and know he wants to impress, but was that he did it today. Asked me how my day had been but didn't listen to answer. ok, rant over, feel free to rant back at me and tell me yabu

Hmmmm, probably difficult as you are both working. He could have been a bit more understanding about your first day back but if he has work to do then it needs to be done.

Typical man to tell his boss he had completed it when he hadn't.

Now you are both working f/t then the jobs at home need to be shared too.

a lot of men won't do more domestic chores just because their wives are working. What they will do is spend more time at work, or doing work so this is a very common scenario you describe.

Basically, he's always gonna have more important things to do than boring domestic chores.

Did he bring work home when you were a SAHM?

It annoys me intensly when my dh does this. I swear if I worked 100 hours a week he'd work 101.
