I am currently a stay at home Mom. I literally work my ass off all day long. It’s a never ending cycle between caring for our Children, and making sure this house is clean, that includes meals being prepared, and little things that make his life a little easier like making sure he has breakfast and lunch for the next day, coffee pre-made, so all he has to do is press the button. I even make sure to have a decent pair of work clothes laid out for him most nights. Sometimes I don’t do everything I did the day before, and he gets aggravated, and tells me “I work, you don’t”. I cannot stand this comment and it really makes me so angry, I mean, I see red. Many of times he will take his food Tupperware out of his lunch box with the lids still on, and just throw them in the sink. He tracks dirt all throughout the house in his work boots. He makes comments if I forget to put a new bar of soap in the shower. He doesn’t understand what I do during the day to take care of our kids, our home and the little things that really help HIS life run more smoothly. I feel unappreciated, and I’m tired all the time anymore. I know that he works hard, but I do as well, and when things aren’t done to his perfection, he runs his mouth about it. He doesn’t do anything when he gets home from work either. I make dinner, clean up after everyone, and he watches the news, and I’m fine with that to an extent, I know he needs a little me time and time to relax, but one of the issues is, is that when I start working again next year, nothing will change. I know it won’t. I’ll be working 8-5, and then coming home to do all the things that need to be done around the house. Sorry for the rant, I just can’t catch a break and he doesn’t understand or see to want to help when things get overwhelming. I also just lost my mom a few months ago, and I am dealing with a little depression from that…I just am losing myself…

Edited to add: I’ve poured my heart out to him. I DO communicate and not sure why everyone is assuming I haven’t. I’ve tried to talk about this a number of times. It changes for a day or two and then the pattern continues. I do agree that perhaps some Counceling would be beneficial. He hasn’t always been this way or I wouldn’t have married him.
