[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 330898, member: 6546"] Maybe I don't get it... I've only been married 15 years, but frankly, I could not see my relationship ending over housework and television. DaisyLover had a point about couples taking each other for granted...and that's not always a bad thing. husband takes for granted that I will do certain things for him. I take for granted that he will do certain things for me. Sometimes we get our wires crossed and mis-understand each other's needs. Sometimes he doesn't see why certain things might be very important to me if they are not important to him and vice-versa (like talking instead of TV) So Shari... Is it [I]really[/I] the television and the chores that are bothering you? Perhaps you are "saying" you want husband to do more chores, but what you really want is more respect, or more time...and all he is hearing is that things weren't picked up or that you didn't want him watching the game on Sunday. The "gist" of your list is the respect you intended to demand for yourself--isn't it? Maybe that's the conversation to have....that you are feeling a little "too" taken for granted. I'll bet husband will understand that and be willing to make a few changes. --DaisyFace by the way--I haven't tried the "not paying the bill" trick...I may have to give it a try! LOL! [/QUOTE]
