Does anyone else have that never-ending, reoccurring argument that you just cannot seem to settle?
We have a good marriage in all ways possible, but about once a month (though it seems more frequent lately), we have an argument about whether or not i do enough. I think I do way more than my fair share, she does not.
Here's a good example of how it goes: Saturday evening, 10:00pm at night, kids in bed.
Anyone had a similar argument and have any methods of fixing the problem??

So eventually we get tired of arguing after a day or so, and we agree to move past it and enjoy life. And we do, until it happens again. I don't feel like this is a marriage killing argument or anything, but like some sort of bad rash that ignoring just doesn't work for anymore.Wife (talking to me): "Can you help me clean up the stuff from making these easter baskets, or...do something...anything?"
Me: "It looked like you had it handled - I didn't think you needed any help."
Wife: "You know, I wish I could just sit down whenever I wanted to."
Me: "You do just sit down when you want to - you just get mad at me when I do. And I didn't sit down on purpose, I thought you had it handled."
Wife: "I shouldn't have to beg you to help doing stuff."
Me: "I have been doing stuff non-stop! I just did that load of laundry, yesterday I vacuumed the whole house, changed the kids sheets, loaded and unloaded the dishwasher - all while I am working from home AND somehow watching the kids at the same time."
Wife: "Oh give me a break, I do 80% of the housework around here."
Me: "AAARRRGGHHH."
