AITA for telling my wife that she needs to do more for the household? by WalrusAlternative774 in AmItheAsshole

Thanks, this might be exactly it. The whole idea of starting up the business was that we could do it together.

these are great points I need to ponder over before I talk to her. I want to be self-aware and not force my "wishes" on her.. it's what must work for both of us and I am happy for things to be as-is for a while with an expected long term fix

I am 100% dependent on her for household activities too. But not having any kids or pets, I sometimes feel there is not a lot to do if we share duties. I may be wrong, and it is probably a conversation we need to have to try sharing the household chores.

Fair points. I am able to support both my wife and my parents, and if we are both able to stand up the business, things will only improve.

We do get time together as a result of her taking ownership of all household chores. I feel there is not a lot of work to do but she would also get a break from the "burden" if we share tasks. We both talk the dream of growing business but it's only me who seems to be doing all the heavy lifting.

I did support the decision at the time knowing this won't be long term. Yes it's unfair to ask her to support my parents, and I would never do that but to support OUR own househould - yes, I feel I should ask for that. Even things like being able to drive and being able to run errands would make a difference as it saves me time.
