You just meant this as a hypothetical example, right? Surely you don't mean this literally... because this is total utter complete bullsh!t. So what if he can't/won't cook. He can be hungry. He can make a PBJ, for Pete's sake.
Yes I do mean it literally. If I don't leave him a meal or at least arrange for the kids to get take out he will say something like "The only way I can deal with my s*cky job is knowing that at least there will be a hot meal at home.". Yet, I am expected to earn a full time living and nobody ever makes a meal for me. Also I do all the housework except for my H's laundry (because I don't fold right) and a few kid chores (My D works for my business so I keep her chore load fairly light and my S is half gone from home.). Just recently I managed to get my H to do the yardwork and pay the bills but I was doing those too previously. Does anybody understand why I think it is highly likely that I will become a WAW once the kids are gone? No sex and an unfair share of work is a pretty deadly combo. It is even worse than that because if I try to work more my H complains about my absence and if I work less he complains about money. PLUS in order to get laid I have to spend X hours a week working out at the gym and keeping myself attractive and not eating cookies. PLUS I have to spend "quality" time with my H listening to him complain about his job. I actually look forward to the occasional night that he travels for work because then I can just relax. He is WAAAAAY too high maintenance. I actually sometimes think "I can't afford to be married to this man anymore" because I would be better able to take care of myself financially on my own.
