I agree with restrangled and Sylvia. Your wife is spoiled. When my kids were growing up, I did not work out of the home. My husband supported us. I never expected him to do any cleaning whatsoever. He took care of the yard and home repairs and I cleaned house and the grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking. As my sons got old enough, they took over the yard work.

You need to go for counseling. Truthfully, you and your wife need to go for marital counseling, but good luck on that one. Good little dubby will most likely not be willing to do that.

She is not showing respect for you. You do need to stand up for yourself. But I think you need to get counseling to get your mind sorted out as to what direction you want to go.

Faders are indeed a very large doormat

sorry, to be so blunt- for a whole day i have watched people here patting themselves on the back- we're a large army, oohh, look out wt, we might do something, well not today or tomorrow, but someday!

maybe, i have to just accept that a lot of jw's who are exiting the kh by the back door will never find a backbone to stand up to mummy and elder daddy.. jw's have a learned ability to see themselves in a better light than everyone else sees them.

ask a jw, if they are a charitable religion and they would likely all say they are, but when pressed to name a charity they will be unable to do so.

mimimimi

Not all of us have been on here patting ourselves on the back. Some, like me, are busy just living their lives, free of the Watchtower at last and want to leave it in the dust.

Therapists are for other people, not me or you. (Reconsidering the EAP.)

is that how you've perceived therapists and counselors?.

btw, i apologize in advance for those who are currently unemployed.

this thread will not do you any good unless you are able to get a job with an employee assistance program (eap).

My husband and I utilized his EAP about 19 years ago when we were both getting sober. It was the best thing we could have done. We had a great therapist - certified addictions counselor. She kept reopening our file under different family member's names so we could continue to see her as long as we needed. We went individually and together. It's a great thing! Never cost us a cent.

Why does the WTBS hate sex so much?

now i know they try to control everything and pretty much ban anything.

but sex seems to be somthing they can't stand and would like to get rid of completly if they could.

so many articles and so much conusel about not having sex or having anything to do with sex from any angle at all.

Maybe all the governing body members have erectile dysfunction. They are like the nuns - they don't want nun, they don't get nun, and they don't want no-one else to have nun.

It's amazing how much you can get done when you don't go to the meeting!

just tonight i've worked out, done laundry, cleaned my daughter's room, read a chapter in a book, burned a cd and a dvd, sent some emails, and started a few threads here... and i'm probably forgetting a few things!.

mimimimi

Tell me about it! I can actually keep up with things at home a lot more than ever. To say nothing of the fact that I don't have to dread those boring, mind-numbing meetings any more.
