Advice from R. Eric Thomas.
Published: 1 minute agoI am a gay male and have been with my husband for many years now, married six of them. Every time an issue comes up, whether it’s the landlord knocking on the door or someone else, he comes running to me to deal with it and I am fed up with it. I deal with paying all the bills each month. I work full time just like my husband, and I have told him numerous times to be a man and start dealing with it, as I want a husband, not a wife. But he doesn’t listen. It’s exhausting.
Telling him to “be a man” is not getting the point across, so see if other ways of explaining the problem work better. Try telling him, “I feel overburdened; I need you to step up for me” or “I feel like I’m doing too much of the work around the house and I need some support” can open up a conversation in a new way.
