That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but things have been rocky between me and DH for a while now, and my main issue is that I don't feel we have a partnership anymore, and I feel like the only adult in our family of us and our 2 primary school aged kids.
Does anyone else feel like this? He holds down a very good job and I know he is well respected in work, but when it comes to things around the home (with the exception of DIY which I admit he is good at), I have to tell him what needs done or how to do it. It's exhausting and I didn't sign up to be his mother!
We're back from holidays a few days ago and it has just hit me again when we got back home. I know it's petty, but I haven't bothered to do any of his holiday washing yet. Mainly because it took an age to to the kids washing, then the kids started vomiting and I had lots of bedsheets to wash, and then I was straight back into work. He has asked me twice in the past few days if I have washed any of his clothes as he was looking for clean boxer shorts and I just said no and moved on to another subject. He still hasn't bothered to actually put any of his dirty clothes into the washing machine and no doubt he'll ask me the same question again tomorrow and I'll give him the same answer! God knows what boxer shorts he's been wearing the past few days! I'm wondering how long it will take before he actually puts a wash on!!
