I can't even express how deeply that statement hurt my feelings. He never struck me as particularly sexist or misogynist but after that and some more recent statements I have realized how he really feels.

There is no bar for men. They think they are owed a submissive wife who does everything as long as they bring home a paycheck. The expectation of me doing everything honestly crushes me. I hope the younger generations of both men and women learn to work together to make a equal life. No so lopsided. But older men dont even how truly lopsided it is and that's the whole problem.

Of course it's crushing you. You're being expected to run THREE lives at once. Yours, your husband's, and your kids. You're only human. The only way the next generation will catch on is if THIS generation stop accepting shit men. Make him step up or kick him out. Start your kid doing their share of the housework, and teach them to expect that everyone they live with does a fair share of the housework. Men are shit housemates before they're shit husbands.

sorry to sound so unsympathetic but... honestly even though it hurts, women need to hear this. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Every generation of women is expecting and hoping some other person will fix her boyfriend.

And i'm just like, damn it to fucking hell. Do you go pick out a dog and expect someone else to train your dog? He's your dog, so it's your responsibility to train him how you want him to behave. If women don't want to train their idiotic fucking dog, then don't get one.

And yes, from the way so many women describe their relationships with men, yes he's a dog who needs training.
