    when i get married, i hope my wife would take care of me. i shouldnt be left to my own devices. i would never get anything done!

    I think this is a good general rule for most men... never leave them to their own devices :laugh:

    Since this site cuts your avatar picture on the forums, and only displays the full picture when you click on view profile, I swear it looked like you had taken a side picture of your *kitten* without underwear on. It wasn't until I clicked on your profile that I realized it was your bicep. Maybe I'm just perverted.

    EDIT - I'm not the only one!

    obviously, the answer is to end the marriage. No husband should want or expect his wife of 20 years to take care of him if he were to get sick. We all (men) know that the shotgun should have an extra shell in it for those matters.

    Life is a two way street. I don't think it is anyone JOB to take care of someone else. If in a marraige there is great harmony then I think we would just WANT to take care of our partner. but JOB, no I don't think so!!!

    I find it rather comical that if you ask what a husbands/fathers role is- primarily his job is to take care of his family. It is a job for everyone at times, its work and its not always easy but its rewarding- tell me that is not a job.

    If I get married again, it will be my job to make him happy, and his mine. Not to serve, but to treat it as important as a job.
    That being said- is he really upset your helping someone who is dying? If so, let him know, when you are dying, you know I'll take care of you too!

    petulent child comes to mind....and a bit whiney, self serving and controlling. Yep...heard it from my ex husband...and you know what,

    Dani...could you please say it again?

    I just broke up with him...

    okay, so there was a lot more going on....but I would probably point out to your husband that he isn't 4.

    ^ this.

    seriously though, the next time he says that, tell him if he wanted a wife who would exist solely to serve him and only him, he should have married his mother.

    i'm an unmarried guy... but even i know that's just an asinine viewpoint your husband has about marriage.

    is it my job?
    Depends. What's your salary or wage? Do you get benefits? Paid vacation?

    Mee too! I thought that too!! Had to actually click on the profile just to make sure... Does this mean we have dirty minds?

    No it is not your job unless he pays you for it. People who care for others usually make about $20-$50 and hour so tell him to fork over $480 a day or stop squawking! :) Seriously though I really hope your friend is okay. You are kind to care for others in this way.

    tell him that if he has a complaint about your skills as a wife, to go ahead and say it so that you two can discuss it, otherwise, to stop insinuating that you are being a bad wife by being a good friend/daughter/sister/mother to the other people in your life.

    I agree w/ the above,...& heres my 2cents..,...It seems 2 hav bothered u because the way he made it seem was as if it was yur duty/obligation....(UGH)....we as mates take of eachother outtta love,kindness,goodness,faith etc....NOT CAUSE IT'S "OUR JOB"-cause Honey if that was the case....we'd Quit the job a long time ago.

    ...said my husband, only halfway joking, last night when I was going to help out a friend whose husband is dying.

    I've been married almost 20 years, and this statement is the crux of almost EVERY issue we have.
    I have a major issue with this statement, but I can't quite put my finger on the problem. Yes, I agreed to marry him--- and that does mean we are responsible for taking care of each other. But.... is it my job?

    I'd appreciate any insight. I really can't figure out why this bothers me so much.

    I think the bold part is why it bothers you so much.

    Now, I'm not a dude, but if I was and someone mistaked my bicep for a booty, I'd be flattered.

    i think the heart of the issue is that you are the "heart" of the family and as you know, muscle weighs more than fat. He's trying to be the fatty tissue around your heart and it is making it harder for you to beat. You do realize this though, right? Muscle weighs more than fat.

    The truth is she wants me bad. That is the heart of it!

    Me too. I absolutely cannot tell what that is in the little pic.

    PS - Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. 1 pound = 1 pound.

    I do believe it's part of your committment to one another to take care of each other. It's a two way street though. How did this even come about? Was he trying to prevent you from going out with your friend last night? Like you weren't doing your "job" by leaving the house?
