    Hey just wondering why you are asking for citations without providing any of your own? Because besides your own opinions and experiences you dont seem to provide any citations to back up your statements.

    And just so you know, you can try to find citations for claims made in the comic on you own. Or do you want to do some Executive Function Theft and let someone else do the work?

    Edit: Instead of reading that long ass response I looked for scientific stuff myself and found this in a short amount of time:

    Mental Labor: A Systematic Literature Review on the Cognitive Dimension of Unpaid Work Within the Household and Childcare

    Predominantly, the articles show that women perform the larger proportion of mental labor, especially when it comes to childcare and parenting decisions.




  • I think you are trying to isolate a topic from all the other issues, but it seems pretty much impossible. Even if you for yourself can isolate the topic perfectly, I really doubt your husband is willing to do same and instead will view this in context of all other discussions you already had.

    You know your husband best and probably know the best way to bring up this issue. If you, as someone who lived with him for years doesn’t know how to get him to understand this, we probably aren’t able to either.

    I don’t have any experience with this, but in similar situations I saw two recommended strategies:

    • Get someone to be on your side in this issues and get them involved, like ask a family member or a friend for help when bringing this topic up. Or get some help mediating this like with a counselor or get into couples therapy

    • Confront your husband with consequences if he does not do get it. I thinks its important that those are consequences that you can actually enforce. So separation / divorce / no sex / not cooking / no cleaning / other things for him can totally be those consequences.


  • Like this

    On December 10th, at around 6 p.m., 200 environmental activists suddenly stormed and “invaded” a Lafarge company cement factory of La Malle in Bouc-Bel-Air in the Bouches-du-Rhone, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in Southern France. Infrastructure at the plant was reportedly attacked using a variety of methods, including: sabotage of incinerators and electrical systems and devices; cable cutting; bags of cement cut open and spilled; damage to vehicles and construction equipment; damaged windows; and graffiti spraying.



  • Do situations like that - your feelings getting invalidated and turned on yourself - happen more often or is it uncommon?

    And I can see why you struggle to put this in words and explain it to him, because to me it seems like its so many layers you would need to explain to him before he would be able to see his manipulative behavior. This is something I would really struggle to do myself, so i can just send you virtual hugs.

    Sorry if this unwanted advice, feel free to skip the stuff below if you just want advice regarding that specific situation.

    Reading your comments, I am wondering, do you have any boundaries regarding chores and their distribution? Like if nothing changes, how long can you live with it? What is the minimum of understanding/change you want to achieve to stay in this relationship? Are there any red lines for you? How do see your own situation when you are sick for a longer time or older or have to work for more hours a week?

    I feel like you already took a huge effort to communicate with your husband, to provide resources and free education, to be understanding, to deal with constant mild annoyance. It seems like that did not change anything. Right now it seems more than reasonable to check in with your own needs, expectations/hopes/wishes for the future and if you actually believe in your husbands willfulness&ability to change his ways.
