Admin do you think this is right? Lately, my wife has been leaving all the house chores to me, and it’s beginning to weigh on me in a way I didn’t expect marriage to feel. During our courtship, we used to argue over simple things like who would wash the dishes or do the laundry, and many times she would suddenly fall “sick,” leaving me to handle everything, and I ignored it, thinking love would fix what effort could not. Now we are married, both working, without a maid, and because I knock off earlier, I come home not to rest, but to a quiet list of responsibilities waiting for me like an unpaid debt. I cook, I clean, I wash, and when it’s time for laundry, there is always a story, always a reason, until I either call someone to help or do it myself, feeling more alone than tired. I spoke to one of the elders who guided us before marriage, hoping something would change, but nothing has, and it’s painful to realize that what once looked like small red flags were actually signs of a life I am now living every day, where even love feels like hard labor, and the only thing keeping me going is the quiet hope that one day things might change, because right now, even laughter feels like something I have to schedule after chores.
