    My poor baby! Obviously that woman (and I use the term loosely) does not deserve you! I think you should hop the next plane to FL and I will meet you at the airport. I am sure I can think of something to make you feel better.

    The fat slob that lives on my couch has *every* day off while I work and I cant even get him to take out the trash, much less anything else. HeII he doesn't even eat while I am at work because he is too lazy to make food for himself. I come home and hear, "Hey whats for dinner, I have not eaten all day and I'm starving".

    I would appreciate everything you do dear... and show you. <grin>

    You forgot to buy her a new piece of jewelry and shoes to match didn't you?

    Are you really having marriage problems or are you just trolling over here? If you really are serious, I'm sorry. That totally sucks. It is hard sometimes for people to see the other's point of view. I have the tendency to think my husband should deal with every little thing our daughter needs and wants during the weekend because I'm home with her all day long during the week and I want a break. I always think he's just being a lazy bastard and I forget that he needs a break from everything too. I know he works hard and hopefully your wife recognizes how much you do to contribute. Sometimes we just aren't very considerate to our spouse. That doesn't make it right and I wish I had something great to say but all I can really do is sympathize. Hope your day today is better. :)

    It's great that you did those things on your day off, but obviously there is something else wrong for her to react that way. Sounds like she is resentful for some other reason but is just taking it out on you by not being appreciative of the help.

    I would be grateful for the help from my husband, but it wouldn't change the fact that I am lacking the affection and attention that I want from him.

    You should be helping out at the house and doing those things anyway, it's your house too, and your kids too. Don't expect a huge celebration when you do those things. Do you go wild with excitement when she does those things? No, I know you don't so don't expect her to either.

    Love you wife, that is what she needs.

    You sound like a great husband. Tell her that you want to have a good marriage and ask her what she needs. Date nights, occasional flowers, and telling her that you love her should help if you don't already do these. If she doesn't appreciate these, keep doing what you are doing. Your children will see your good example. At least they will benefit. Also, take time to take care of yourself.

    Dude, you need a total pick me up. Cop a headache, tell the boss you're going home sick and go get drunk. Stroll by Polls and Surveys on your way out and choose one of their Boobvatar pictures for your new screensaver.

    You are obviously a good husband. What has she been missing ?

    Hey, have you ever said "do you appreciate me doing things around the house"? Talk to her!

    Wow! you had a day off?

    You failed to meet her, naked with a rose in your mouth, silly. Now that is how you greet your wife.

    Not a goddamn thing.

    Come over and have a beer and watch the game. I'll make pizza rolls, and you and my husband can have man time.

    Your woman makes me cranky. (((FYOP))) *smooches*

    Man I wish my hubby did that on his day off! She is one very lucky woman
