Should a husband feel humiliated if a wife asks him to do some chores?

Absolutely not! Well at least not in my house. My husband and I have been married for nearly twenty years and for the first sixteen of those years, he was active duty Navy, and I worked full-time, plus we had two children, when he was not deployed, he always helped out with the house and the kids.

Marriage is a partnership, and in a partnership both people have to do their share.

He may not want to do it but someone out there will.....Seriously, a man with ole skool up bringing may think this is not his place, but it is this type of thinking that ruins a happy marriage. A marriage is a partnership and sharing is part of the deal. The good and the bad.

There is no room for ego or competition in this type of partnership if you want it to work.

I know there's a huge cultural difference between the rural backwater US and Bangladesh, but I personally believe the answer is the same -- absolutely not! Personally, I consider it an honor when my husband tells me ways that I can help him, and he seems to feel the same when the tables are turned. That said, I understand the roles are reversed in our house a bit...my husband is unemployed and I have my writing business, so he is the primary caretaker of the kids and home while I'm working.

I'm with the others in saying 'absolutely not', I'm afraid. A man lives on his own, he does those things for himself by default if he wants a good standard of living. Is that humiliation?

Maybe to you. Not to most.

Everyone should do the household work because the house belongs to everyone who lives there.

When I support my wife, it is a pleasure for me. But it is a matter how do you ask the husband do to that. Someone can give you a flower and let you feel humiliated.

He should do them without having to be asked. The only thing that should humiliate him is the fact that he is so lazy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
