You're burned out.

Get a job and leave the children with your parents or close friends.

Even a part time job is good.

Your husband needs to allow you to get out of the house and away from the kids once in a while.

Stand next to her and help with the dishes.....someone comments about "you depend on a man to live as you have no money" - what's wrong with that? Kids depend on parents....poor guys depend on rich wives...woman with no money depend on men with money............This whole "Independence" thing has been made to appear - like something wonderful....everyone is directly or indirectly dependent on another - it's not always about money....If I were a woman and had a kind husband...I would not resent being taken care of................In fact during my life I had woman with more money take care of me....in fact I am still dependent...and I don't care.

The easiest solution is for the husband to treat the stay home wife nicer. Everything else is more difficult/more of a hassle. Of course the wife should treat the husband nice too.

I love being a stay at home mom. However, if things between my husband and I didn't work out - I wouldn't be looking for a replacement - I'd be looking for a job and reasonable day care.

The thing is about the OP... it just sounds like she is simply just bored of her husband. I could be wrong, but that was the impression I got.

What is going to stop her from being bored with the next guy, or the one after that........

As long as both parties equally value the others contribution it is more workable. I know difficulties in my previous relationship with a life long college student came about when I felt as if I took care of everything financially.

Come on over, maybe we can work something out. Free room and board. Just leave the kids there.

I mostly meant this towards couples who have kids. When you don't have kids, you can just end it and part ways.

But I do agree that both parties have to not only value, but LIKE the others contribution.
