Before BD, I worked 10-14 hr days. I rarely cooked or did laundry. I did all gardening, landscaping and house renovations. Most compliments went like this, "you look pretty!". Her usual response was "I don't feel pretty". Responses like that do not really prompt more compliments. One of her complaints was that I worked too much, so I cut back to an 8 hr day. In doing that, I have more time to cook, clean and spend quality time with the kids. Most of all, I'm not the grumpy tired guy I was before. This was a complaint for years that I would fix short term and then wind up with long hours again. Completely my fault. I know now that I took some of her complaints for granted. I'm not here because I was a great husband. I'm here because I want to be.
