    Good for you. That's not what's being discussed here.

    What's being discussed is whatever people want to discuss. Maybe your tone here is also present when you speak to your husband and that's why he's not keen on doing his share - if he's working fulltime and coming home to nagging, patronising and sarcasm I can see why he'd rather just get a takeaway.

    So do you expect him to do the chores whilst you're at the gym?

    Every couple of months, he says to me, okay I know I really need to get my licence and I'm going to definitely do it. But then he doesn't do anything.
    If his anxiety is stopping him maybe you need to be a bit more proactive in pushing him to take the next step. Research driving instructors in your area so the next time he expresses an interest you can say "That's great! Here's a list of instructors, shall we phone around now and try to book some lessons?".

    Well, I can assure you, it is not the tone I use. Tell me, how do you and your partner settle up your monies? If my relationship is so dysfunctional in your opinion, perhaps I could learn a thing or two from you?



    Well some people realise that when you're married there is no mine and yours, but simply ours (that's what marriage means - it's a legal contract) and don't bother with cross charging for things
