[redhen]

jen..if you'll have me...

..i'll come visit ya!..(for the food)..sounds yummy!...*as a bribe i'll bring my hens that are laying*so you can have all the eggs you want!.......he should be thankful for you!..my hubby does alot of our cooking..(not that i cant do it)..i just explain to him that he needs to learn these basic skills in life..and that its only benifiting him in the long run!..

.....maybe try a differant approach?....slack off a bit on the homemaking stuff....then he'll appreciate you a bit more!...BTW, my hubby also wants to know if he can come..

* That ain't so tough, usually, LCRT. Well, not with mine, at least. If I manage to get his feathers as ruffled as mine-- he spills all his hoarded up eggs!! Uh, wait, does that make any sense?? Lol!!

Ahh...you missed my Dumesnil Family reunion Sunday...we ate until we were sick. Etoufee and the works. My Grandmere would have been proud of us.

Jenn, I've been married 22 years, and he still mysteriously goes sulky on me. I figure because he's either PMSing with me or it's because his drawers are on wrong that day. We're at that point in our marriage where I can tell him that whatever his problem is, he needs to get over it, because he's not allowed to take it out on me. I'm WAY over dealing with the hissy fits!

(For the record, Chris means: seasoning = Tony Chachere's or Tabasco Sauce. No decent Cajun wouldn't have these in the house!)

*sigh* That kind of stuff happens at our house too. DH gets a bee in his bonnet (putting it nicely) once in awhile. Doesn't get better after you get the ring or pop out a few kids either. I guess I have my moments too.

BTW, your menu looks AWESOME!!! Can I visit?

I've been married almost 22 years.

During those years, there have been ups and downs. No need to get into details here. It's what happens in a relationship. That said, relationships in order to be enduring need a solid foundation.

I've always believed in what Dr. Laura (radio talk show host) preached. He needs to give you a ring AND a date when you will be married within 6 months or you move on.... (or you make him move on). As one of my old college room mates would have crudely put it, "He either needs to poop or get off of the pot!".

Sounds like you are both bread winners but he is obviously taking advantage.

And the previous analogy is also true... if he can always get eggs, why buy the chicken?

No doubt you've spoiled him too much and he is enjoying his control. As is always the case in relationships, there always seems to be one in the relationship who loves the other one more... and that usually puts the one who doesn't love as much in the drivers seat.

You may not want to live without him, but until he can understand what he's doing to you, it simply is headed for trouble until he is willing to talk it out and make some compromises.

God bless you as you move forward... and again, it's not so much what Dr. Laura preached, it's just simple Judeo-Christian teaching. The Good Book teaches that "It's not good for a man (or a woman) to be alone".
Therefore shall a man LEAVE his father and mother and shall take unto him a wife and they shall cleave together and become ONE flesh. Becoming one takes work.

When my husband does that, getting into the habit of not helping out around the house (I work full time and he is semi retired)...a week of me making MYSELF a sandwich for dinner and leaving him to fend for himself usually works. And when he asks what my problem is I tell him straight up.

We have been married 10 years (

) and I am not putting up with any sulkiness.

BE HAPPY DANG IT!

My ex-husband used to do that to me...once, giving me the silent treatment for TWO DAYS, all because he told me a stupid joke & I (oops) TOLD him it was stupid.

Well, as I said, he's now my EX-husband (and good riddance).

We've been married 17 years. I've found that people in general seem to have more manners for complete strangers than they do their own family. It's called being taken for granted. If this is a one time thing, blow it off. If it's a regular occurance, that calls for a long conversation.

Good luck!
