...Sometimes these things are like requirements, and the base level requirements where it has to be met.
...We don't expect it in marriage, but sometimes thats how it is, and knowing this it does not hurt.
I think those are very profound words. In my case, my wife expected a degree of my sharing the workload of kids & house and then wanted me to do all the chores I had done before plus build a career that would bring in lots of money. I can understand how she became overwhelmed and how that lead to resentment, but we should have discussed it before it destroyed our sex life.
Now that the kids have left home and are on their own and I am doing lots of stuff around the house, I am meeting her standards again.
Very profound words indeed.
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
