18 Years of Marriage - Leaving in June

[ScaredinCanada]

Just to note Harrier I think your reply was to "Scared2Def" not to me, but I digress!

I feel the same way as both Harrier and Habit, unfortunately we get complacent in our lives, busy working, taking care of the kids, and trying to "relax" with whatever time is left. I never indended to leave all of the housework to my W, but some reason I did that a lot.

By being healthier, losing weight, eating better and getting proper rest I've generally had more energy so I don't mind doing my share of the housework.

Like I was saying in my thread, I've now started thinking "If I don't do it, who will?" and of course the answer is "My W". So I try my best to do things as I see them or think of them (picking up kids toys, doing dishes, vaccuming, etc.

It's not perfect, but my W is home everyday during the day so she generally has more time available to do chores. I think I've made it closer to a 50/50 arrangement now.
