I was doing some reading and found some interesting information. Im learning about respect and how it is earned by a man from a woman. That said, upon some of my reading, i came across articles that said when the man starts doing the majority of the housework, the woman loses respect for him. The basis was that the man should focus mainly on his career and achieving success there, and then help the woman with housework sometimes. Basically saying the woman admires and is attracted to a man who strives for success.

I have definitely taken on the lions share of house work throughout my MR. All this time i thought i was helping my W out by picking up more and more of the chores, was i really losing her respect? I'd say in recent years ive done 95% of dishes, 95% of the laundry, any ironing that needed to be done, and now do 50% of the cooking. My W got all the groceries, did 50% of the cooking, and did the larger portion of the cleaning.

Id like to hear from you ladies and gents, does a man lose respect from his wife by taking on too much of the housework? Are a man's priorities chasing success above all else? Im using this info for self growth. There are areas in my life ive learned that i need growth and development in thanks to my Sitch, and i dont plan on coming out the other side the same person. If i dont become a better man from this, then that would be a damn shame!
