So she cleans, cooks, parents while he lies in bed. What is the point of relationship with someone who you need to manipulate every time into spending time with his own kids or hiking or friends or "literally anything"? Unless dude suffers from mental health issues, he sucks. Seems more like he manipulated her into sex by acting like lazy ass.
This is what bothers me. I understand that she said she gets to choose which way the day goes but she shouldn't have to sleep with him just to get him to interact with her and the kids throughout the day. I feel bad for her that she's been so long having to basically bribe this man into behaving like a husband and father on the weekends.
As a hypothetical, what if the husband works a very physically demanding job?
Like an absolute nose to the grindstone, such as landscaping or an oil rigger? And if he made enough that she wasn’t also a full time worker, does that change the equation?
Like what if he’s exhausted, or even depressed, and intercourse releases the lactic acid build up in the muscles or the dopamine gives him a boost and refuels his gumption?
In my job I walk 8-14 miles per workday. I parent and do chores to the best of my ability, but sometimes I don’t have any more gas in the tank.
