if ur flats are only round the corner i think its a great idea lol u dont have to do his housework too! i dont see why a married couple cant live apart if anything i think this will keep u happier as u wont have so many arguments about stupid things that u do when living together!!!

I don't see why they would. Some guys still have issues about being the breadwinner but a modern woman with her own home wouldn't want one of them anyway. I think that to most guys it will be a positive. It's a sign of stability and maturity. To the rest is will be a non-issue for a while at least.

THE CHICS ARE GONNA HATE ME FOR THIS ONE LOL!! \nListen, you are working hard so she can have a good life. You need to put your foot down now, before it's too late! As a wife, I expect my husband to do chores around the house. ...BUT NOT WHEN HE'S WORKING A 12/14/16 HR. SHIFT!!! He does as much as he can whenever he can, but everyone needs a break! I bet she likes to spend the money that comes in from those 12 hr. days...try cutting her off for a while, she'll catch on real quick! Relationships are about respect & comprimise. She needs to be willing to comprimise when it comes to chores, and to respect & appreciate your hard work...as you should appreciate hers (taking care of a child & your home).

Welcome to the party! I personally believe that men think just because your married your "SUPPOSED" to have sex with them on a regular bases but just as they may want that need replenished we need things as well. Like you said it takes trust and it takes some help on his part when it comes to helping around the house. Some men think that those small things do not matter but those are very big things to a lot of women.

I like everything in its place.  The kitchen cupboards are organized and tupperware is used for everything from flour to sugar as I bake daily.  Even cleaning is done everyday as I am one of those people who would hate to have someone come to my door and think I was messy.  My husband thinks its wonderful to have a clean home but I do too much...  I don't agree for if I didn't do it as I do, it wouldn't look or smell this good lol

Desperate? They shouldn't be. In my country the wives are both - taking care of the house and the children and working on full time job. So why are the US wives desperate when they are only staying at home?

I'm a woman, but I'll answer anyway. :)\nI think men like nice warm house. Not spotless tidy but warm tidy that shows your character. Don't worry too much of how your house should be to impress him. Just be like how you used to. He gotta find out how you really are anyway. Besides, he's probably too busy thinking about how to behave at your place to notice too much. :)

What does your husband think?

At home with their wives, who take care of them. Being in a committed relationship requires a lot of communication and understanding. I hate to say it because women do not want to hear this but if you are trying to do it all, your man is going to need more attention than you can give him, and the commitment you are seeking he will not be able to honor.

They dont always nag their husbands.  If your wife is nagging you your obviously not doing something right.

Really?  Hm...I thought it was the other way around!  Lol...j/k...I try not to do it to my husband because I hate it when he does it to me.  \n\nI'll usually just tell him once and if he doesn't do it or "forgets"...oh well...he'll do it eventually (luckily, my husband is very reliable and not lazy at all...so this rarely happens)  \n\nBut I think wives may nag too much because we want things done our way and at our time...and when that doesn't happen, we can keep on going on and on and on about it...until it finally gets done or we get tired and go on about a different thing.  \n\n---  oops, I change my mind...I thought about it a little more and I think I do nag my husband when it comes to things that I'm really anal about (ie: the windows needing to be open with the fan on when he's cooking bacon)

start out as you mean to go on. Most guys end up letting you do all the cleaning, cooking etc. If that is fine with you then ok. If not then do not let them get away with it. It is no use letting him do what he wants now and then complain about it a few years down the line. Talk about who will do what around the house, who pays for what etc. \nThe last thing you will be thinking of right now is breaking up. But if it should ever happen who get's what? Talk it all through now and write down what was agreed upon. Believe me it will spare you alot of heart ache in the future. Keep lists of who paid for what.\nOh and make sure both your names are on the lease.  \nHope everything goes well for you both.

wow, that guy sounds like a very sexist pig. first of all, he shouldn't care about sex. he should be worried about overworking you. he needs to get his lazy @ss off the couch and get a f*cking job. or at least cook a meal and clean up once in a while. what you need to do is divorce him, take your children and, as a personal favor to me if for no other reason, leave. take the house, the car, the dog, and make him pay child support. i'm not trying to be mean, but alot of people don't grasp the meaning of life and living it until they're forced to do so. if you need to talk to someone neutral, you can email me or get me on yahoo messenger at poetic_disturbulance@yahoo.com. be strong and get rid of him.

I have a hard time understanding this kind of thing...men not helping around the house. BEFORE my husband and I were married, I told him I wanted us to be EQUAL partners. That meant, we'd both work, we'd both do housework, and we'd both pay the bills and raise the kids TOGETHER. I didn't want him to HELP. I wanted him to SHARE the responsibilities. He agreed, so I married him. Yes, I do a bit more housework, but he does a bit more working outside the house, and we do share the childcare. You need to sit down and TALK to him.  It goes like this: "I want us to start sharing more of the work. I am getting exhausted doing all the housework myself. If you don't want to do your 50%, then YOU need to hire me a cleaning service. It's your choice."

You lovely, lovely man! What I would not do to have you for a husband. Washing up is a doddle compared to a gourmet meal. Besides what are dishwashers for? Buy her one for Christmas and that is your problem resolved.

i'm also tired of idiot ignorant wannabe men.  here i am, a young boy, who always figured i was just a little boy.  but lately i've realized that i lead by example, i can actually skew the curve of what a woman should expect of a real man.  any guy who loves a girl should treat said girl like the dread pirate roberts in relation to the princess bride.  you ask your man "would you do the dishes?"  he should say "as you wish" and then get busy doing the dishes a.s.a.p.  you ask your man "have any interest in sweeping the house"?  he should say "as you wish", and then get busy sweeping right then....not tomorrow.  you say "make me dinner, sweetie".  he should reply "as you wish", and he should get off the couch and make you some good healthy real food........not run to mcdonalds with your credit card.  i wish you luck.
