My neck hurts.
My back is sore. I have a headache. I am too tired. Without fail, 99.5% of the time.  I could get hit by a bus, and if my wife asks me to do something physical, I will STILL do it.  Gentlemen, if you have a lady that actually works outside, DIY, etc. you don't know how lucky you are.  |

My wife pretends to work for a few minutes. Then when I look up she’s disappeared into the house. After that the best I can hope for is she offers to bring me a beer.

My wife thinks with her teeny body and little stick girl arms she can pick up as much as me (not that I'm exactly a human crane). Moving furniture or a water heater I keep yelling for her to stay back "I can help!"
She was outside gardening ie tearing up perfectly fine bushes as I'm yelling "why did I water that for two years! You tore it up!" Then as I'm watching her furiously digging around with her hands like I dog "You're using my winter gloves! Those aren't for digging holes in the gravel with your hands! You have piles of work gloves I've bought you because you keep losing them!" "Yes I lost them again! Yo never woudl have caught me if you didn't come early and then you'd never know, it's a desert, when do you wear mittens!" Etc |

Wife says "she'll help dig the holes for the fence posts". She has no idea how hard it is to do that by hand, or to control a two stroke auger without hurting yourself. |

No how my wife is. We will, God willing, celebrate 48 years of marriage this August. Cannot get her to stop. Always willing to help and still mows the lawn if I don't beat her to it. I have been out of town the last few days and she had cleaned the house, and then cleaned up the gardens and lawn in the back yard. The lawn would also have been mowed when I got home except for several days of rain.
Raised 4 sons too. |

I had distributed about 20 bags of mulch around the yard. Wiff was gonna spread it. Fair enough. I come back out to see her spreading red mulch with muh winter gloves. They were ok, other than being permanently stained red. 5

It's even worse in professional environments when management expects men to pick up the slack without extra pay for picking up the slack. No wonder young men are dropping out of the workforce in record numbers.

It's gotten pretty bad at my house. I do all the yard work, all of my laundry, 90% cooking and housework. I don't blame my wife, I blame her mom, she was never taught to do housekeeping or how to cook. When she does do something it's half assed and she cooks everything high until it boils over or explodes in the microwave.
