YOu should write a book about this. It would be a best seller.layinback said:if you make 300k+ a year you wouldnt have to worry about trivial shit, you would have bigger shit to fight about!!! dude money is just a symbol. what you described in your post is relationship 101.dividing chores, what do you expect from each other, you dont feel your needs are gettin met and chances are she doesnt either. when i met my first wife (she refers to herself as dumbass #1) we made like 30k ayear combined. she worked as a waitress on the weekend and i was a jr. sales manager. neither one of us knew anything about relationships and it was a fucking nightmare. well 18 years later and wife #3 i finally got it right. i make 10 times more money and she doesnt work but that aint the secret to our success. we have learned to communicate our needs and not make each other "pay" for historical events. ppl are attracted to ppl that remind them of primary caregivers. the things that attract us initially wind up repelling us in short order, usually around the 2 year mark,thats when the endorphins have settled down and reality sets in. lots of folks feel the strain and start the splitting process, even if they stay together physically. whats really happening is a mutual working out of past traumas projected on to your love interest. all of this is subconscious and we are just automatons in a tragic play. when you "get" this, you guys can do something about it. most folks take a few xanax and start the bed hoppin game and land in the same relationship with another body. good luck to you and yours. i know first hand how painful this shit can be.
