Between the housework and taking care of three kids, I just can’t seem to get ahold of my life.
My husband and I have been married for four years and have been together almost six in a very loving and fulfilling relationship. He has two children, tweens, from a previous marriage, and we have a toddler together. He is a wonderful, attentive, fun, caring, involved father who loves being a dad—it’s his favorite thing in life. And it seems to come so naturally and easily to him! It’s not as easy for me.
Having a job doesn’t absolve him of all household and parental duties, no more than “being at home” means you are meant to spend 24 hours a day in household drudgery. Second, you need to have an honest conversation with him about how and why you are drowning, not only so that he understands why you are asking him to step up, but so that he knows how unhappy you are . Keeping unhappiness a secret from a spouse is not part of the formula for a loving, fulfilling partnership.
