Feeling resentful

I’m so frustrated with my husband. He works on the weekends at night, and I never ask him to do anything on his workdays. All he does is sleep and work which is fine. We even agreed that Monday can be his day to do whatever. If he wants to sleep all day, or work on something, it’s his day. My issue is the other da...

I would take my c...
