(7,699 posts)Woman works full-time job perhaps high pressure. Commutes up to one hour each way. Overtime.
Comes home, has to do every single chore: cooking, cleaning, shopping, preparing for guests,
pay the bills, mow the lawn, take out the garbage, do the laundry, get the taxes filed. He doesn't
even set the table or serve himself his own meals.
Then, he wants sex, which becomes in effect another chore because there is nothing left of energy
for enjoyment.
It happens. I married someone like that once.
That's when you need the man to get off his butt and do something. There are still many men
who just go to work, come home, and sit on their butts and want everything done for them; men
who need to understand 'wife' doesn't equal 'mommy', and if you demand 'mommy', there's nothing
left for wife.
On edit: the butt I married also wanted every meal brought to him in his chair. Then left the dirty dishes
by the chair on the floor. I tried leaving them there and he let them pile up until all the dishes were used
and I had to get them.
