I can see where all you ladies are coming from when you say 'more help around the house'....but unfortunately (and Yes, I am stereotyping) I think this is a man thing.
I will admitt that my guy unloads the dishwasher every morining that it is full, but then he expects some kind of major reward for it or something. I'm always telling him...."Well who do you think shopped for the food, prepared it, cooked it, put it ON the plates, served it, wiped the plates off, put them IN the dishwasher, washed all the pots & pans, put the leftovers away, wiped the table & counters & floors????? AND doesn't mention that she's done it several times!!" Then I ask him, when's the last time you made the bed, vacuumed, done laundry, gone grocery shopping, mopped the floors, or cleaned a toilet?? This usually shuts him up!!
But seriously, I would change two things.
1. Affection, romance, sex......need it more!!
2. Discipline his daughter. She's an every other weekend kid & I don't feel that she's disciplined as much as mine (who is with us full time). Plus, I think he gives her a lot of power.....decisions of what to do as a family are too often left up to her & I am a firm believer in kids are kids & WE are the parents!! I could go on & on here (yes, we have issues) but that would be another thread.
All in all though.......there is FAR more than 2 things that I LOVE about my guy!!
