No, you’re not being selfish. Here are some suggestions you can use or riff off of to make you feel less put upon and to get him involved without taxing him too much.
Instead of his making dinner, why don’t you ask him to pick up dinner on the way home several nights a week. In fact, you can even order it and have him pick it up on his way home. Then you don’t have to cook, and neither does he. Or, you could meet at a restaurant for dinner on the way home once a week.
Instead of cooking an elaborate meal when it is your turn to prepare dinner, consider something you can microwave and serve with a fresh salad and a bottle of wine. In fact, you can get salads pre-washed and chopped in a bag to make your life even more easy!
If housework becomes too tedious, consider a housekeeper or maid service as your budget allows. Paper plates don’t have to be washed, and that cuts down on doing the dishes. If you live in a city, some laundromats or dry cleaners will do your laundry “by the pound” so you don’t have to.
See if getting creative with these suggestions or your own ideas, cuts the stress a little!
