This post was inspired by Google searches to my blog for “working harder than my husband.”

I used to be there. When your man isn’t acting like a man, and you’re taking care of the kids, cleaning the house, cooking and bringing home the bacon – you start to wonder why in the hell you need him?

If your husband is a lazy sack of you know what …

Consider this your private venting session. Leave a comment.

And if you want help just call Mort Fertel. He’s the creator of the Marriage Fitness program as seen on Fox News and every other cheesy, fake news outlet you can think of. Anyway…

Here’s his advice: “The key to succeeding in marriage is not finding the right person: it’s learning to love the person you’ve found.”

Okay. I’m with you. I can see that. After all, prince charming doesn’t really exist. We shouldn’t hold men up to such unrealistic standards. But what if you are working harder than your husband? Meaning … actually working harder than he is? And is Mort’s advice basically telling every miserable married woman to compromise herself into oblivion? Maybe Mort and Lori Gottlieb should write a book together.

Mort? You there? Help these ladies out …

Ms. Single Mama is not responsible for any side effects that may occur after reading this blog post. Symptoms may include serious urges to leave your husband with side effects of feeling incredibly relieved after venting by leaving a comment. Warning – DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HUSBAND UNTIL YOU’VE TRIED MARRIAGE COUNSELLING OR CALLED MORT. Ms. Single Mama does not promote and has not actually tried Mort’s program. She actually thinks it’s a crock. If you’ve tried Mort’s Marriage Fitness program – and he’s saved your marriage – by all means, leave a comment.

P.S. Mort, I’m sure you’re a swell guy, but you need to hire someone else to write your website copy.
