No, you don't have it straight. She NEVER cooks dinner or any other meal. She, does very little housework (maybe 30 minutes per month), I provide a house where she has her own bathroom (as does her daughter) that one cannot walk through. I do my own laundry, etc, She always goes to bed before the 12 year old. I wasn't clear on these 4-6 hour sessions, those are obviously only on weekends. During the week I would be happy with 1 hour, Another common theme I see in this thread (besides that I am a selfish asshole) is about communication. I do talk about all of this stuff until I am tired of talking about il. In almost every case where somone posted "did you talk to her about..." the answer is ":yes, repeatedly". The problem is that communication doesn't fix the problem unless one or both are willing to change - and that is the issue. I strongly encouraged and supported her becoming a teacher. When I first met her she had the degree but a bad experience in her first try at teaching. She was working factory jobs and had given up the idea of teaching. I encouraged her to try again. She warned me that the first year would be very time intensive and she was right. I get it. Still for me to provide the emotional and financial support, I want what I want in return. If that makes me a selfish asshole then so be it. Several times I have sat down to write a reply to this whole thread. Each time I have deleted my reply. Your story keeps changing. This is NOT what you told us in your first post. As for the daughter you neglected to mention at the beginning, all kids that age go through an awkward stage when they appear bratty and disrepectful. It passes. They grow up to be good people. You did, didn't you?
