Had my husband felt this way we would have been celebrating our 23rd anniversay...but like too many, he thought the grass was greener somewhere else.

Greg (my better half) and I could never work on money/taxes with him, just like he can't handle back to school shopping with me... we each know what we can deal with and respect each other for it.

Ron contributed to household chores before it was cool for a man to do so, and I've loved him for it ever since. And Roz is right on when she says that's what our readers relate to.
