Ok....I was just wondering 'out loud'. Thought you might have a hypothesis.
I don't. But I do know I was unhappy with the workload and the way it was distributed in the last two marriages bc essentially I was working two jobs while he worked one ... Ie, he relaxes all night while I"m meanwhile running around like the chicken with the head cut off trying to get all the stuff done and still have a little time to do something I would like to do, like relax!

And that is ultimately why I left. There was no fairness, nor any willingness to be fair.

The sex lives were never a problem. Ie they were satisfied with it, I was satisfied with it.

So I would say ... both studies still fit what's going on out there in the real world even if on paper it seems contradictory?

Ooh, been there, done that in my 2nd marriage. The man LITERALLY wore a groove in the couch. I worked 5 days a week and still had to do all of the cooking and cleaning, not to mention handle anything having to do with finance (he really wasn't the brightest bulb...)

He was working 4 days a week and spent his free time with his girlfriend. Um... dealbreaker.

The man I'm with now shares the housework, and I'm assuming I'm his only girlfriend...
