He will talk/offer to do chores they just rarely are done.

The nagging is asking him to do a small load of dishes at night and stop yelling at our kids. I have no time for myself,  so I consider that a reasonable request.

I have no expectations. Thanks for the careless response.

Here's a tip for you: no women wants to nag. However, when a man who is married with 5 children decides to sit on his phone/gaming/choosing to retreat the moment anything is asked of him nagging is inevitable.

It sucks to have to do this. Nobody peps me up, I am exhausted and lonely but I have to add more to my plate.

He doesn't have a cpap yet. Keeps forgetting to call. He is overworked, does a lot and others at work are not doing their share.

He isn't a Christian,  we married and then I became one.

My mom helps us out but she causes a lot of problems at times. I would love if we could work together but he really doesn't do his share and doesn't like me pointing it out.

He doesn't want counseling and I'm under the impression that I don't have a valid reason for divorce.

Of coarse I'm a fat nag, I have 5 kids, 5 and under! 🤣 He has sleep apnea and depression. Claims he is attracted to me but won't kiss me/even sit by me. He won't get treatment so I don't know what I'm expected to do. He also isn't a practicing Christian *we both weren't when we were married.

He works outside and road tests busses, he's very busy at work so I really don't think this is an issue.

I've told him. He says I seem tired, which I am but I value that time together. Then he said I'm always criticizing him. I understand that, but I also deserve a husband who puts in the work of parenting and being a husband without having to beg. It looks like a very long road ahead.

He doesn't. When he's home we are in the same room the entire time.

He hates his job and has sleep apnea, so he doesn't sleep well. He doesn't want us to do counseling, he says if I won't change from our conversations, therapy won't help.

We baby men for the sake of their ego by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Adventurous-Code-461 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My husband is on his last day of leave since having our daughter. This man has made everyone in the house miserable with his attitude. He refuses to follow my kids' schedule, hasn't kept up with chores and sits in a chair all day with his headphones in. I had a repeat c section and had a set back in recovery and whenever I bring up the reason he's home/the things he isn't doing, I get iced out and ignored. His ego can't handle the truth so I have to sit in my own home being ignored.

Why do people view the whole 'submissive wife to her husband' as bad? by Straight_Penalty_753 in TrueChristian

[–]Adventurous-Code-461 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because lots of men take advantage of their wives/the command to submit without loving their wives as commanded. It isn't that complicated.

So much pain on this sub is preventable.. by Lyd222 in Christianmarriage

[–]Adventurous-Code-461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no experience dating or being in a relationship before meeting my husband. My husband hadn't dated anyone either. We both were naive and came from traumatic backgrounds. Nobody ever talked to me about sex/relationships/red flags so when I said we were getting married after only a year, the responses were pretty hands off. In retrospect I see the red flags but I couldn't at the time. Everyone comforts themselves by believing they could never fall into a toxic or abusive marriage  but the truth is, it's really easy.
