    She should be embarrassed of herself. Regardless of stay at home mom or not .... She needs to clean the house. I'm not saying you can't help out. Marriage is a partnership . I'm willing to bet you wouldn't mind doing everything you are now IF she would do her part too


    As far as how to change her... Communication is gonna be the only way

    If that doesn't work.....

    At least your child is half way to kindergarten .... What's gonna be her excuse then ?

    Don't give up on her TS..sometimes it can take a new wife and mom a minute to find their new place in the world.

    She may be a little depressed or feel like her identity is being lost stuck in the house cleaning and doing laundry.

    Only way to know is to have a serious sit down with her. Don't coddle her either..probably going to be a tough conversation but stick to how YOU feel.

    I can tell you love her..it could be something that's fixable.

    T/S

    got some good book recommendations for you if you're interested

    this goes for anyone tbh

    but it takes two brah. If she wanna make the relationship work, she'll be down if not, you might have to go talk with someone. If that dont work, then might be time to draw up dem papers

    but stay positive

    I may have been a little too condemning, there are success stories and I agree with you immensely on if love is worth it go for it.

    Man reading this ? brings back memories of something similar I went through years ago with my ex. Dodged a bullet though we never got married nor had kids.
    I feel your pain though. Hang in there dude. If it gets worse, then you know what you gotta do. Can't let people take your kindness for weakness.

    Yeah I don't think it's too extreme like she's trying to take advantage of me or anything. I think she's just been a little lazy lately. Putting on weight could have something to do with it and she did mention she had a lot more energy when we were trying to eat more fruits and vegetables a few months back. I think it just doesn't affect me as much because of my metabolism. I was the kid that never slept in day care during nap time so I'm never short on energy.

    I brought up my problems to her and told her I would be patient. But I had my issues. My thing is this with any relationship is communication and compromise. I put my foot down and that's when we grew apart. I got tired of always being nice. She left me because she didn't want to change. I feel like this, if you say you love someone then you should be willing to put in the effort. After a while the words didn't hold any weight, I needed to actually see change. It was too much for her and she bounced.
    I wasn't raised on that woman has to stay home aspect. My counter for that will always be if something happens to me, then what are you going to fall back on to survive on your own. She never understood that.

    How much should the man do or how much should he be required to do? As far as cooking and cleaning and raising the kid, he shouldn't be required to do any of it. If we are sticking to traditional gender roles enough for her to be a stay at home mom, then let's not play around with it. I'll go to work and make sure we have money, no past due bills, etc. You need to make sure that the house is clean and there is food and ? at all times.

    I personally would still help out around the house and I would be as active a parent as she is, but if she tried to give me excuses why the house was ? everyday, that ain't gonna fly.

    Fam I hate to say this but if she had respect for herself, you or your child....she wouldn't let you come home to a ? house.

    I'd assume that your gone for 8 hrs a day....wtf is she doing apart from sitting in squalor all day?

    This is serious fam, you need to get sorted swiftly. Yo kids will grow up thinking its ok to live like this. You don't want that, it's a stain on your legacy.

    I don't buy all the diet and any other excuse she got fam...it costs nothing to clean and cook for your family except for love and a lil time.

    You don't have to settle for this and personally if she didn't show change sharpish, i'd scoop my kids and replace her.

    And there goes the biggest problem in our relationship. She used to ride the ? real good. Now it's good when she rides it but she'd rather just lay on her back and let me do the work these days. This ? has to stop.

    You right. I'm just gonna have to tell her that she's doin a half ass job right now. I asked her what she did yesterday and she said laundry and she swept some stuff off the floor. 8-9 hours is a long time to just do some laundry and a little sweeping when the rest of the house is still ? .

    I don't think it's been going on forever. I recall her doing dishes and cleaning and ? awhile back. It was probably only after we had a kid that she started telling me that I need to help out more around the house. I think the problem is the more I started trying to do around the house the lazier she got.
