Thanks GEL:
I thought I mentioned it, but just to be sure...we have been in MC for 6-8 months.

You are right in that maybe I should talk to Karen. At this point, I do not know we are getting anywhere at the MC and the cost is significant. If she does not agree with the MC, she just disregards it. The MC says that neither of us should threaten to leave. My point is that it's not a threat to get what I want. It's like a warning that I just cannot go on this way.

I have avoided the "tit" for "tat", but again I am not considering using this possible plan as a threat or ultimatum. It's that I am tired of carrying all the weight and getting nothing back, not even a thank you. It should be a two way street on work and reward. I am not servicing the Queen B here. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and like to do things for her...but she frankly does very little, if anything, for me (in the bedroon or elsewhere).

If there is no or little EC/SC, why should I do all this extra stuff for basically a room mate as you said.
