The best case scenario is to do housework after working all day which entitles you to do the deed twice a week (not sure if that's good or bad). Worst case: after doing said chores I could still get a divorce. Then suffer alienation from my children and financial ruin. As a man, would one of the women here remind me why marriage is a good deal? The pros never seem to outweigh the cons nowadays.

I agree (as a woman).

You are lucky to have it twice a week. Try a year.

Now I really cannot stand him. But that is not really true, because he is a very good person. Just moving here kind of wrecked us. I never wanted to leave the U.S. It was a sucker punch and I couldn't breathe when he told me about his job offer.

I know I am talking too much. It is a sad thing for me. And it takes so much energy for me to fix up the house, etc. I have been trying to paint, etc., in case we want to split and sell the house (which I don't want to do). Although I did do that by myself in Denver.

However, now, I love this place. It is in a rural area.

Oh my gosh, I am starting to cry.

It isn't fair for him to refuse me all the time. I realize I am a ... obviously a bad person.

I probably should not post this, but I just want people to know that marriage is a two-way street and it takes a hell of a lot of work. Sometimes, too much.

I actually have tears running down my face. I am sorry!

Good luck to you. For men, no, marriage isn't a good deal anymore. It never seems fair to them.

If both are working shared housework is good. If not, well, I don't know. I guess people have to come up with their own arrangements, and if there is love, things will work out in the end.

G*d Bless you and yours, FRiend. I probably should not have clicked on this thread when Hubby is downstairs. Normally, he would be there for hours, playing online poker, but, tonight, he actually finished loading the dishwasher, which I had started before going to bed. :)

Like I said, marriage is hard.

You've been a member of Free Republic and had the user-name proud American in Canada since July 12, 2001?! And after 15 years, are still moaning about living in exotic, foreign, rural Canada?! As if it were anything but a somewhat colder, less-sophisticated North Dakota?!

Regards,
