[QUOTE="nvts, post: 207890, member: 3814"] Hey! Basically? Men sleep in recliners. They feel that they work harder than anyone else on the planet and deserve to be pampered when they get home. Are you happy with this arrangement? Um, I'm going to take a guess here that the answer is "no". STOP DOING THE STUFF THAT THE KNUCKLEHEAD EXPECTS YOU TO DO GRATIS! What I mean is: stop washing his underwear, stop mowing (I know that'll drive you nuts - but try for a little while) serve the dinner 1/2 hour before he gets home and let him re-heat it himself. Basically: go on strike. Until he starts trying to join in with the family, he doesn't get benefits. Meaning - he's a "non-participating part of the furniture". As I said in a post the other day: This will be your "Declaration of Independence". Don't pretty up for him, pretty up for you. Ultimately, you have to let him know that you're sick and tired of being taken for granted. I think most of us have been there - state your case simply - and let him know that you're not going to settle for less! Ok, can anyone tell that I'm just not in the greatest of moods today?!!! :winking: Feel better hon! Beth [/QUOTE]
