Re: Venting thread- I've been struggling not to hate my husband.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-01 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
And here's the thing about family. Mine wouldn't straight up refuse to take me in. They would of course want to help me... but we'd disagree on what was helpful, and they are not going to listen to me. I'd be welcomed back home, but subjected to an unrelenting barrage of "are you sure you expressed yourself clearly" and "maybe you should give him another chance" and "a family needs two parents" and "marriage is hard work, you should be more patient because men just aren't good at these things naturally".

They're not completely in the dark that I've been struggling, but I don't share much because of the above. My father (who means well) offered talk with my husband and I was like, please god no. My father has not cooked or cleaned for his whole adult married life. He's a loving father who'd die for us, but he's never done sole parent duty for even one single day, for one kid. I'm not sure he's ever changed a diaper. He staunchly believes that a man's job is to be head of the family and bring home a paycheck and that's it, everything else is woman's work. He doesn't consider himself sexist in doing this, it's just that he has no notion of taking on household tasks himself. He hasn't mowed the lawn or taken out the trash since his kids were old enough to do it. I don't even have the heart to point this out because he wouldn't see my point, anyway, but he's the last person I'd ever go to for how-to-manage-your-husband advice.
