I do almost all of the housework and chores in our marriage. We both think this is appropriate as my wife has the stronger personality of the two of us and I am more submissive.
Naturally, with this arrangement she has lots of free time and I am usually pretty busy. Today being Sunday she was reading the newspapers while I was readying our house for Thanksgiving. I was doing a lot of vacuuming, dusting and polishing and have a lot more to do before Thursday as we are having Thanksgiving dinner here.
A friend of my wife came by to visit and chat this afternoon. I answered the door and greeted her and told my wife she was here. After putting coffee on for both of them and getting a light snack out I excused myself and went about doing my chores. I thought I was very pleasant and welcoming to our neighbor.
Later, when we were alone my wife scolded me for not sitting with them. I thought I was very polite but wanted to finish my housework.
Do you think I was wrong?
