So this morning, it was my turn to do the dishwasher, and I threw a hissy fit.

'Either this dishwasher gets fixed or I am buying a new one'. For last some time, it just doesn't clean. XH went into the dishwasher, opened some things, and then got confused. Then I made tea for myself, and he turned on the stove for making omelets for us. Then I snuggled into my blanket on the couch, fired up this laptop, and began sipping my tea while launching candy crush saga. He googled our dishwasher and found a youtube video on how to clean a dishwasher. Then he tells me, 'This video is done by a woman. She is teaching how to clean a dishwasher. You can do this job too. Chal, you get up and do it now.'

hehe.. in my defense, I had googled this issue first. Asked him what the temps in the water heater was, and during my hissy fit had my head in the dishwasher trying to figure out where that damn screen could be that all the articles talked about. That's when he pulled me out and went in himself. Depending on the level of my rage, and if I was alone, I would have gotten it done myself, after reminding myself how I had taken the oven apart last year to find the dead rat; and after having convinced myself than I am an electronics and Instrumentation graduate, which means I should be able to attempt fixing anything electronics, electrical, or mechanical.

All the stuff that I do, all depends on how pissed I am about the issue. Then it gets resolved, either by someone I ask, or by myself.

Please convey my Pranams to my Guru ji - your XH.

I have a similar complaint against my PDW but will pass for the time being.

PDW?

project dishwasher has been completed, and it seems like a success. will know after a full run, but it already is making the right sounds.

he he .. he also put up a youtube video to make omelets. that one was done by a man.

i usually cook 3 or 5 days on weekdays, he sometimes makes salads those days. He cooks half the time on the weekends, and I sometimes do mass cooking for the upcoming week.

took 2-3 hours today to do deep-cleaning of the first floor: dusting, vacuum, mopping, kitchen, bathroom, doors, etc. while he did the yard work. I just like to mention his work more, doesn't mean i don't work at all.

not sure of the exact amount, but I guess over 3 years, total about $3500 that we split. failures are a part of life.

oh that's not bad. you here about some people suffering major financial losses, sounds like it was fairly amicable and you didn't try to swindle each other and are fairly equal partners in parenting. i think you made the best of the situation.

You have no idea. Tracy is fast turning out to be my idiol. She has created this whole new concept. how to have a successful marriage and still have the hubby do more than half the house chores. They all live under the same roof with relatives, neighbors all believing and treating them as a married couple although they are legally divorced.

The new terminology is that now Tracy is "unmarried" to her XH.

PN: you should try this with your "breathing" doc.

Does your XH bring his dates to the house and sleeps with them there?

We have had a talk about it. I said if he wants to date, better to not let kids know unless he is very sure of it. It rarely happens that he is home and one of us is not. So, even if he has, kids and I don't know about it, and I will prefer to keep it that way. AFAIK, he is not dating. Nor am I.

>>>You are a pioneer.

You are a great role model for younger generation of women in India who aspire to be free from the shackles imposed by an oppressive society which have traditionally consigned them to subordinate status. You are there to inspire and to teach them to deal with their male counterparts on their own terms.
