Well, sounds like you picked an a-hole for a husband. You're going to have to start requiring more of him, or deal with it. [ Reply | More

Was he being serious? If so, I'm very sorry that your marriage really sucks and that your dh has no respect for you. It will never get better if he doesn't see it that way. [ Reply | More

So him treating you this way is a new thing, or has he always been like this to you? If it's new, you need to find a way to make sure you will not accept it. You two are a team and the children are both of your responsibilities. He can not simply state he isn't going to help. He has to. If this is the way he's always been, then you might need to go to counseling. Either way, make it a priority to schedule non-kid time for yourself and let him take the kids. [ Reply | More
