I am very resentful in doing things for family members. Such as cooking/cleaning/ironing etc. I know these things are a part of life, but I'm just really irritated doing these things for my husband.
I feel like why should I do these things for him, as nobody just anything for me? I don't really feel like I'm getting anything in return.
How do I get over this resentment? How do I just suck it up and not be bitter about it?
Dont do them.
Charge a fee for those chores.
Make of list of things your family members do or need to do for you, mow lawn, take out trash, feet rubs, etc. to balance out the things you do for them.

Have you tried voicing out your frustrations about how you feel taken for granted to your husband?

I can understand this resentment. I was raised hearing this from my mother and it was the stock and trade of the women's movement a few decades back. Many men of my generation took note of this and resolved to be different.
However, subsequently, it somehow stopped being a consideration and younger men seem to be have quickly reverted to the old ways. I have to ask - did you consider this before you got married? If yes, did he change when you said "I do"?
However, I was constantly amazed at how most of the real slobs usually attracted someone who wanted to "save" them - probably from food poisoning. In fairness though, there were others who hired a maid, while they were single. Divorce laws should include a false advertising clause!
Marriage misconception #232: Modern women will cook or clean for you if you get married.
Solution: Don't get married and hire a maid.
Or get married and still hire a maid. Why should a modern woman cook and clean for you. Why dont you cook and clean for her?
