    I left out the part about the begrudging attitude. I don't have a problem speaking up, but he did show his preference which is to do absolutely nothing if possible.

    Instead of trying to change him, I realized we weren't compatible and let it go. It was an interesting experience for me, because I really had not encountered a guy who took it to that extreme before.
    I'm just a simple girl trying to make my way in the universe...
    I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
    If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

    Rule #782:
    When a gift-giving occasion is approaching and you are under the impression that you and the female of the house will not be exchanging gifts, then you are naive and dead wrong.

    Unfortunately, I think some women use this as a screening process.
    There are some ladies whom would prefer not to speak up, unless it's real important.
    It is 'the sexy' to a woman, when a guy can anticipate their needs
    without exchanging a single syllable. I am convinced that it is not
    innate for men to act in this manner. But I'm guessing this attitude
    can be learned but requires a whole bunch of practice.

    Hahahah! Now THAT is funny. I'm always the person trying to crawl under the metal gate at the store on Christmas eve/valentines/mothers day/birthdays because I forgot to buy gifts.

    One year, we drove up to my in-laws on Xmas day and my ex looked in the back of the car and said "Where are the presents?" I said with great puzzlement "What presents?" A very silent, white knuckle ride to Walmart ensued. I guess I didn't get the memo that this was my department. Then again, 10 years into it he should not have been surprised.

    And by the way, nobody in my universe gets bday, christmas, valentine, or any cards from me. However, let this be my public proclamation telling you all that I love you dearly and work hard to make my daily actions and words already show that. My family gets this...and luv me back.

    That is awesome... And exactly how I feel! Hallmark cards are bullshit- I've taken to writing small notes for my grandma, etc. during holiday times because cards are impersonal, meaningless and cost money. A trifecta of suck, if you will.

    What does the smart guy do? He recognizes that she is feeling generally overwhelmed by the never ending task list of running the household. A couple of times a week, the smart guy does one or two of these tasks. He doesn't have to do it particularly well as long as it isn't a disaster.

    He dresses his daughter and puts ribbons in her hair, helps his son find his socks. The kids may look a mess by feminine standards, but she will appreciate your efforts to get them ready.

    He puts his athletic clothes in the hamper and sometimes does laundry when he knows it safe things (all one color). Maybe he makes a meal from time to time, plans a dinner out, or brings home some good takeout. Maybe he has a glass of wine or a cold beer waiting after a long day.

    When she has some more time to spend on herself instead of focusing on making sure you and the family are fed, clothed, and comfortable first... she can finally 'exhale' and focus on your (and her) other needs. It's not a bribe, it's a relief to have some things done and not to feel like it all falls on her. It's a relief to have time to feel sexy and not to constantly smell like a mix of baby poop and pine sol. There are guys who know how to do this without feeling emasculated. I know their wives /girlfriends are happy on many levels.
    Ha ha ha ha-

    Maybe this is how it was for my mother, or grandmother. I know one couple like this, that is it. She stays home, and he is the bread winner. They are the '50s dream couple. I think the days of the stay at home mom are pretty much over. NOTHING in my household is one person's responsibility. It can't be, it would never get done.


    Hmmm... Maybe this is why my wife loves Mad Men so much. She dreams of drinking martinis all day and vacuuming.
