His Pros: He works approx.16 hours per day/7 days a wk, pays all bills 4 last 9 months since wife has health issues. His cons: He has custody of 5 kids (2 R over 18). He refuses to help w/behavior of his children; he never spends time with his wife 1 on 1 even before children came to live w/them, when she was working. He thinks marriage should be on auto-pilot. Her Pros: She's the only adult member of house who's not illiterate. She does all of the paperwork for the home, helps w/homework for all kids (none of which are her's biologically), goes to PTA , attends parent teacher conferences, chauffeurs kids wherever they need to go (when/if he allows her to use his vehicle since they only have one). She does all of husband’s paperwork, taxes, negotiations w/employers, etc. Her cons: 2 yrs ago (yr 3 of marriage) she started to drink and, now needs 10 beers a day not even to get a buzz, just to keep away DTs and horrific scarry hallucinations. Who's the most screwed in this situation?
