My husband is selfish and lazy – I do all the cooking and housework despite working full-time

DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though I work full-time, I still do nearly all the cooking and housework for the whole family.

My husband is selfish and lazy. It’s not like he isn’t capable – he’s happy to make himself a nice lunch from time to time, without considering me or anyone else.

He acts a bit like a teenager, even though he’s 49.

I’m 50 and we’ve been married for 17 years and have two teenage children.

I do love him dearly, but I can’t take much more of this.

If I bring it up, he makes out that I’m overreacting and trying to cause an argument. My son is 13 now and very impressionable.

I don’t want him to think this is how men should behave, and to grow up and treat his partners the same way.

DEIDRE SAYS: You have been putting up with this for years, but now you’ve understandably had enough.

You’re right, for your son’s sake as well as your own – it’s time to make changes.

Choose a quiet moment to talk. Rather than berating your husband, ask him how he can help to make things better.

My support pack Looking After Your Relationship will help.
