Its common knowledge that for a marriage to work, both people have to be content.
If that doesnt happen, well hear stories of relationships slowly crumbling.
Today is one of these stories.
So, when she nagged him for help probably a thousand times, he finally snapped and offereddivorce.
What he didnt expect was for her to agree to it.
Yet, theirmarriageisnt completely blissful.
The other is exactly on topic household chores and their distribution.
Well, you might clearly see where the grounds for the argument come from here.
In this sense, their relationship is not that different.
And it isnt even the only research on this topic.
One study reported that the highestmarital happinesswas in those couples whose domestic labor was divided as equally as possible.
Sounds exactly like the OPs marriage.
The woman kept nagging her husband to help with cleaning, but he never did.
This led them to the event that resulted in this story.
Last week, the author was running around trying to get ready forThanksgiving.
Since he doesnt pay half of the bills, he at least could do half of the cleaning.
This apparently insulted him and he didnt talk to his wife for two days.
Then, when she brought it up again, he exploded.
And if she disliked it so much, they could simply get a divorce.
Still, she came to Reddit to ask whether her shutting him down was a valid response.
Many folks thought it was.
After all, no matter how much she tried to make the marriage work, it simply didnt.
