Today, while in bed, I tried to explain how overworked and unappreciated I feel doing all the housework to my fiancé. It was only when I'd finished my long rant that I realized he had been asleep almost the whole time. FML

Umm no 20 you have half of that statement wrong. Yes, you are right; no one should use sex as a punishment, but if he cheats that is not her fault. Don't justify cheating as ok, it never is. If you have to cheat then you need to end a relationship.

It would be cool if you could go on a vacation, so they would have to do all of the housework. They would probably notice how much they takr you for granted.

I doubt he will clean up just cause she takes a vacation and isn't home. That just means he'll have take out food and wait for her to get home to clean up the mess he left, if he even thinks its messy.

Not to late to call off the wedding...if he's not doing his fair share then you don't need him.

YDI for choosing the wrong time to rant about it.

You know.. in all the relationship books I've read (and in real life too) timing for this kind of talk is... almost.. EVERYTHING. Be courteous to yourself and your partner. Look for a time in your day when they seem to have some time to talk, ask if they are in the mood, and proceed from there. If they aren't, ask when they would be ok to talk about things. Go into the conversation with SPECIFIC goals in mind, even like just getting it off your chest, keep to the subject, and avoid blaming or drama queen stuff. If you ambush them with this kind of talk, it makes it MUCH harder to get your point across. Try it this way next time and I can promise the results will be better.

I only read the words in CAPS in ^ that comment

Yeah! What's the matter with him, going out and working 8 hours at a "job" leaving you home to do all the housework...

That was my thought. However, if they both work full time jobs then he needs to pick up his slack at home as well as her. Cleaning is not a woman's job, it's a fair deal. If I worked eight hours while my wife was home all day I think that responsibility would dictate a little house cleaning is in order. But if we both work full time, I would most definitely do my fair share of the house work.

Are you blind or just stupid? How could you not notice he was asleep? Do you not look at someone when talking to them??

I never thought about that *face palm*

Do you work? Does he? If house work is all you have to take care of you have it easy. If you both work and you're the only one doing house work, then I know how you feel. Otherwise it sounds like you just don't want to do housework.

Or if you're smart, charge a fetishist to have him clean the house wearing nothing but an apron while you and your fiancé are watching.

What the *** is with people like you that can't type a real comment?

I don't know your full circumstances but that hardly sounds fair. Talk to him about it, though maybe not when you're both in bed?!
