Married Life

I just got married on September 27, 2008. There are so many things that people don't tell you about that would seem to be okay but are crazier than ever.
  1. Why does it seem like, after you get married, he decides not to keep a clean house? Does he not realize that you are not his maid? We both work a 8 hr. shift and he gets home most of the time 5 to 6 hours before me. So, I am suppose to clean up after him.
  2. Why do I have to cook his meals? He went to school to become a chief. Shouldn't he be cooking me meals?

Help, me please. I don't understand this.

LOL - welcome to reality, my friend! Housework always stinks - that's just the way of things. Why don't you cook a series of really crappy meals, and maybe out of desperation he'll start cooking at home?

Yeah, this always happens. Lay down the law, right now. Divide everything in half. Explain to him clearly that you also have a full time job, and don't need a second, and that you have no intention of being the maid. Then list all the chores including cooking, and divide everything in half. And you're probably going to have to make constant reminders - think of it as doing the training his mother never did. My husband's been in training for 19 years, and there has been definte progress. Just stick to your guns.
