Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I cook and my husband does the dishes. It took awhile to break him because I believe his late wife had spoiled him. Anyway financially we have no option but to eat at home so I said I will manage to cook something even if it is just canned chili and hot dogs if you will do the dishes. This has been working quite well for us now for over 2 years. Sometimes family job descriptions have to changed a little bit. Kaylene >Yes, I know, the feeling. My hubby complains all the time that I don't >cook. >I don't have the energy or interest, and have been known to leave the stove >on. He will not cook himself, so we eat take out a lot. I'm 50 and he's >55 >and he feels its my job to cook. I'm afraid equal opportunity means >nothing to >him. Occ I do cook, and he acts so happy.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hi W.: I just read your message about your situation with your husband. I don't have the energy plus I'm in constant pain and have no more appetite but my husband is mad as hell that I don't cook as much as I used to plus I'm always behind in laundry and housework. My husband has never had to do any housework as he was career Navy and as an officer had an aide-de-camp who did everything for him. His first wife also did everything for him, too. My do-everything days are getting shorter as my diseases progress but he sees only one thing - himself. He has been trying to get me to move out for weeks now, but my doctor says no way due to my physical condition. To say I'm scared is an understatement but I try to hang in there and I see a therapist once a week who helps me to cope with it all.
