I've seen the concerns by women that do it all, but I'm interested in hearing about the men. I'm a very successful professional man that has been happily married for 7 years. The only sore spot in our marriage is that I feel my wife doesn't carry her weight. I do more laundry than her, at least as much dishes, far more grocery shopping, plus am responsible for all the traditional male duties like all yard work - she doesn't touch a leaf or a flower. I also cook dinner more than she does, and am very active in the care and well being of our 2 yr old. We have a housecleaner, and an au pair that does our childs dirty work, plus cooks many days. I'm the one that decorates our house for holidays and does the heavy lifting when we entertain friends. I feel taken advantage of because I do things that I expect my wife to do, and when we discuss, she feels like I do these things because I have a higher standard. Am I a grumpy husband, or do I have a legitimate gripe?
