Hi Lisa, It took me almost dying from an overdose, loosing my job and almost my license to realize that I needed to stand up for me. My entire marriage was about what he wanted, making him happy. I worked full time, did all the cooking, cleaning and outside yard work in addition to all the child care. Then when I got into trouble with my job and license I was so afraid and grateful to still have him. Well that has all changed. I stopped doing all the cleaning and cooking. In fact the house started falling apart including the yard and I just let it happen. I started standing up for myself and even told him one day that I did not need him that it is him that needs me. Things are better today. He does more than I do with the chores and he treats me the way I want to be treated. The trick was I was ready to walk and he knew it. I put myself first for once. It was hard. PLease know its not right for him to sit around playing games all day not looking for a job and not doing his fair share. Its just not. You have the rights to a partner not another child to take care no matter what errands he does do.
Anyway just wanted to put my two cents in. Oh by the way we just finished survey. I know how that goes. Email me if you want.
