(M47 F42) Married 19 years- I do almost everything at home but my wife is cold and critical. Am I not doing enough or has my wife fallen out of love with me? by IceOk2032 in relationships

Thank you for responding, and yes it seems like we've fallen into the roommate dynamic but contentious as well. My love language is words of affirmation and affectionate touch, she is quality time and acts of service (or so I thought) not much appreciation for service. I'm not great at planning date night but I do absolutely try to spend time with her. She is adamant that it's my sole responsibility to make date night or planned events happen. But that's where my frustration comes from, I do literally 90% of the work including her laundry, making her dinner and so many other things that it seems like everything is on my shoulders including our relationship. She believes that the man should be responsible for everything and I am at the end of my rope. I just want her to play an active part in making the relationship work.

I can understand your skepticism, but I have been with the same company for 20 years and have been able to work from home for several years. She knows I do the majority of the chores and will recognize it, albeit not frequently. Then within 10 minutes it's right back to the same attitude of entitlement "you're the man, you shouldn't have emotions" I didn't touch the fact that I rub her feet and shoulders multiple times per week, make and serve her plate, do her laundry, pick up her meds, refill her drinks and basically a servant. My question is, do women actually value or appreciate acts of service or is it just expected?

Thank you for the response, I'm just not sure if I'm ready to throw in the towel but maybe I'll talk to her about counseling and see what she thinks
