I third Kalni and second Ali. Ali makes some great points, but I'll just expand on one.

I think there is a certain resentment there that she used to be at SAHM and do all of that, and now that she has gone back to work she doesn't feel like you picked up the slack.

And Ali is absolutely right about having to do it all yourself. It's much nicer when you have someone to split it with, so enjoy it now!

I know one of the big fights my H and I were having last summer was that I was working more hours, then had to come home and cook dinner, and then had other chores to do. Since he wasn't working as many hours, I felt like he should be doing more than 50% of the housework. I didn't communicate that well. Instead, I nagged him, he nagged me, and we fought a lot. Then, even worse, he stopped arguing with me about it and was silently resentful.
