This is my first post, so here it goes. My wife and I have been married for a few years and now have a child. We seem to argue a lot now and don't ever really resolve anything. She is always right and I'm always wrong. When I try and explain that she was wrong, she always finds a way to put it back on me. She says that I'm a typical guy and don't do anything around the house. The problem is I do a lot, just not as much as she does. I rock my daughter to bed each night, I give her baths every other night. I cook dinner at least 3 times a week. I vaccum and clean up weekly. I do all of the outside house work,etc. I'm not perfect, but I feel I do my part.

I guess what I'm struggling with is when we do fight, how I determine if I really did something wrong or if she's just blowing it out of proportion. I usually appologize, even though I feel inside that it was her fault.

Any thoughts?

Sit her down, and have a good heart to heart talk with her, and express to her exactly what you've posted here. It's best to be open and honest, but in a calm and caring way.

Good luck!!
