I have been married for about 4 years now and all my spouse does is complain about everything. He use to be an over the road truck driver and come off the road about a half a year ago and now has had three different jobs because he can't handle the work he picks to do. When ever he comes home he is always complaining about being to tired to do anything and goes right to bed usually.
When i was working long hours at the hospital i was always tired when i came home but he expected me to cook, clean and take over with taking care of the kids because he was tired. Or if i am not feeling good he tells me to suck it up and deal with it that is part of being a parent but it is ok for him to act like he is dying when he don't feel good and i am suppose to pamper him. I get so mad at him when he acts like that.
Now when the shoe is on the other foot he tells me that my work is easier than his because all i did was walk up and down the hall ways and answer call lights ( not true).
I was just wondering does anyone else's spouse or significant other act like that to.

No my partner never complains, he does help a lot when he has the time im a stay at home mum though so a lot of it does fall to me but thats ok because im here all day.
If he did complain id tell him where to go or to prove a point id only do what I needed to do for me and my girls when he woke up and had no clean socks pants or clothes it might show him just how much you actually do!

No, my husband isn't a complainer. Instead, when he sees something that needs to be done and he isn't too tried, he will do it for me. Now, he's back working on a HARD job, on his feet 8-12 hours a day in this hot weather and I don't expect him to do anything. He can hardly move when he gets home. But he's never been one to complain if I don't do everything during the day.
If your husband complains about what you do and doesn't think you have a hard job, tell him to TRY doing what you do by following in your footsteps one day, then come home, clean the house, cook the meals, and tend to the kids. See how far he can go with that. Most men don't have a clue as to how hard a woman works! My daughter was married to one just like him! She worked 35 miles from home each way, worked from 8-5, got 4 kids ready every morning, off to daycare or school later, cooked all the meals, washed all the clothes, did all the cleaning, and he wanted her to have the kids in bed after their baths and homework done when he got home from work at night. He was a car salesman that stood around most of the day talking. YET, he was too tired to do anything but eat, watch TV and go to bed at night! He left her with the 4 kids and got him a wife without kids and bought her a new home - something his KIDS needed. She stayed with her kids,did her best, has gotten 2 of them through high school and one of those through 1 year of college with no help whatsoever for the past 8 1/2 years. Sometimes you can do more on your own.
