I have an amazing partner who always puts our children and myself first in his priorities. We have been together 20 years but married 13. We still have a great sex life and truly enjoy each other's company. The problem in having is universal in that while he is the main breadwinner he kinda cops out when it comes to the responsibilities around running our home. I work less and earn less but Im still working and it's becoming a real bone of contention. Whenever we talk about it always ends with an argument.
I know this fight is universal as so many of my friends have the same complaint. How do I best deal with this?
It's a running disagreement over the past 10 years. It's not just the lack of shared responsibility it's the message it sends. It makes me feel like he doesn't care about me.
