He never helps is what I am saying - I don't really understand the point of being married if he is not going to help me. If I didnt get him up or ask him to do things to help me I would literally be doing everyhign by myself. I already work two jobs which are very stressful, I own a house, I pay our bills, take care of the dog, etc.

Yeah, he has disappointment me several million times but basically what you are suggesting is that I do everything myself while he sleeps all day and goes golfing and drinking, etc. I'm just notsupposed to ever say anythign about getting some help?

What do you mean the dog appointment were all on me? He wons the dog too! I was grcious enough t make the dog a vet appt so he can get shot, etc as he was overdue. So basically, I do all the work while he reaps allthe rewards - that is on me?



Did your marriage just turn into a huge laundry list of things that needed to be done? If so, that's not fun and if you've been nagging him for years thats also not fun. So if you're relationship is not fun, why would he want to be around you?

Why do you work 2 jobs???
Who told you to do that? You did.
Because you pay all the bills?
Who told you to do that? You did.

Start separating the bills,
make a list of the expenses and tell him he's responsible for half.

Stop cooking meals for him, just take care of yourself.
Stop doing his laundry, just take care of your own.
