My husband is a slob. I want my marriage to be a partnership, but it feels more like I'm a subordinate. I feel unappreciated. I cook every day, clean after him and our dog everyday, care for our dog 80% of the time, listen to his complaints and help him with his college work, and try to be on my "best" behavior (i.e., don't say bad words, don't yell, smile). I work FULL Time as a counselor and when I get home I would really like to relax, but out of 7 days in the week, at least 5 of them he's in a bad mood, demanding, and complaining. What am I doing wrong? I'm so exhausted, confused and angry. Also, we have sex about once a week, and only if he is in the mood. When I try to talk to him, he usually yells at me, tells me to stop *yelling*, ignores me and goes up to bed. We fight really bad when I just can't take it any longer and then he gets really aggressive and angry. I am afraid to talk to him *when he's okay* because I'm scared of him blowing up at me again.
