Freudian slip: “That is my son. I mean, that is my husband.”

The mouth speaks from the fullness of the heart.

[rubyruby]

If I work full time and he works full time we both take equal responsibility for the household and child raising. It's called being a grown up and supporting your family's wellbeing.

[coffeeblack]

Had this talk with my husband who was useless for over 14 years. Only thing that made him change was telling him I want a divorce bc no father is better than a shitty father.
When he realized I meant it, he changed 180. Alot of people will do as little as possible if they can get away with it.

My brother is a single dad and a full time cop. And he takes those kids on hikes and trips. This guy got it so easy.

[ErickaWilliamsCC]

Cops work 3 to 4 days a week long shifts like nurses. I have 6 cops in our family. They cook, take kids to games, and pretty involved. He is slacking. Two adults working full time with kids under 5 years old is hard.

[SarahA]

When she divorces him he’ll say he was blindsided and it came out of nowhere.

[phipsdeus]

Don’t mind me. I’m just here for the comments!!

[firefly]

I have cops in my family. They are all capable of empathy and helping out for the greater good. A cop devoid of those two characteristics.... is scary.

[AnneGoggansQHHT]

When young men aren’t raised doing their own laundry, clean up in the kitchen, and are raised with mom doing it all for them…..they aren’t self sufficient. The needs of others just don’t occur to them.

[ryanspalding]

The fact he doesn't even want to hug or kiss her says everything we need to know....he's fallen out of love with this woman, which is a sad sad reality that must be realized on her part. That's it...

[liveslisa]

Ask the guy if he still wants to be married! He's checking out.

[rebelnetwork.worldwide]

I'm honestly sick of hearing that men can't be held accountable without coddling them. She works even more than him and takes on more responsibility. He needs to just man up and help her and set his ego aside. Police officer or not!

[daveedg]

Laziness is a big problem with marriages. Being the main bread winner in my marriage we separate bills based on how much we can pay so inherently I get the brunt of the bills. That being said we both work full time, not one works harder than the other and we know each other’s love languages. She gives me hugs and stuff and I give her the words of affirmation and the gifts. But the share of home cleaning and everything is split between us becuz we have a team mentality. Team mentality is the key to marriage emotionally physically spiritually and economically. When I see her debt I see it as our debt. Early on she would say “I feel bad cuz it’s ur money” but once the team mentality was instilled it became our money. We r down to just the mortgage and 5k left on our car.

[bunnie]

John is a great addition to the Ramsey team.

No kissing or hugging means it’s basically over.

[linjubar]

You can’t save a marriage by yourself. It takes two to make an effort, or else the one making all the effort ends up burning out, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It’s extremely damaging to that person if it’s all give and no one is giving back to you. She needs her energy for her baby, herself, and her job. There is not much left after that to spend on an unresponsive and cold spouse. That neglect will drain her faster. It’s very sad.

[britneyog]

Even in our worst times of my marriage, my husband not once pushed me away. Counseling, ASAP.

[CairynJay]

The sad part is if he would just step up and be an equal partner the cycle WOULD stop. She would stop being so “critical” etc but it’s SO OFTEN only the woman who a)is even TRYING to fix things and b) the onus is almost always put on HER to fix the issue. But if she stops asking it’s not like he’s going to start magically doing those things. She’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.

[bbl]

The problem is that most men want wives but aren’t willing to become husbands

[shb]

This is what happens when both parents are stretched to the max. I have no idea how people raise children when they both work full time. Especially when they're in two of the most stressful positions in this particular day and age.
