Touché. You forgot drinking to cope with lack of sex  I get that married people are busier then us singlefolk, but do the lustful thoughts just go away?
And where do they go?

Boy 365 days of sex with the same woman, I think by the end of it, humping a loaf of three day old wonder bread would be more exciting.
Especially when she wrote a G-rated book about it.

Pfft. Please. Dont try and pull that wife propaganda crap. I've heard all about how 'hard' being the wife and mother is, I'm actually half surprised you didnt pull the 'pain of childbirth' card. Saving that one for a rainy day are we?
Fact is though, I've seen the pillow fights and cocktail parties. Oh yeah. I know whats going on. I'm wise to your game.
Or is that sororities? I cant remember now.

Let me see......
I washed all the outside windows today.
Did my own laundry.
Washed the dishes AND helped with the cooking.
Guess you married the wrong guy.

Is anyone going to ask ..? Respectfully, BuzzardsWife ... I am wondering why exactly your day is like that - are you exaggerating? Are you leaving something out? Just curious.

I was trying to forget those. Tupperware is murder.
Tupperware parties are like having tea with Satan. The tea sucks and the company is worse.

Are you living in the 1950's?
I honestly don't know anyone who's parents function this way, or any couples who function this way.

At the risk of sounding like some misogynistic pig, why is the assumption that he is at fault 100% here (unless you're kidding more than serious)?
This is why I asked what parts she is leaving out because there must - MUST - be something. Maybe he works 12 hours a day, and is out of the house 14 hours a day. Maybe his job is phenomenally physically demanding.
Perhaps the opposite is true - maybe she's never asked him to do this work for whichever reason. OK, OK, Captain Awesome Husband is always supposed to do these things without being asked - but if he doesn't know this is an issue for her (which it sounds like it is) then how is it reasonable for the blame here to be fully on Mr. Buzzard? Maybe she does ask - and he says yes, he will do Chore X, fully intending to, and she, in exasperation, does it before he gets to it. My wife does this to me from time to time - she will ask, "Will you empty the dishwasher?" and I will say yes, of course - at some point today I will empty the dishwasher, while her question is actually, "Will you stop whatever you are doing and empty the dishwasher RIGHT NOW?"
It could be possible that she's leaving out tasks he completes at home. Maybe Buzzard's day looks like "Get up, go to work, come home, fix stuff, mow the lawn, blah blah".
Or, yeah, maybe he's a slug and she married the wrong guy. Not gonna catch me saying it, though.

I don't have issues with anyone - I was hoping to provoke discussion. I'm curious as to how her situation got the way she described, so I posted my questions.
Were you joking? Or serious?

I took offence to her comment "A mans day". None of married buddies act the way she describes men and neither do i.

It appears we are.
Now, as to how her situation got that way, i'd prefer to hear the story from her as opposed to speculating on what may or may not be going on behind the scene.

You know a friend of mine asked me today why I'm so adamant about remaining single. And besides the fact that I'm an unattractive self absorbed emotionally ######ed jerk who wakes up crabby, goes through his day maintaining a high level of rage and then goes home glad to be away from people. Its the fact that I would just feel so guilty about the fact that I would put my future spouse through that kind of life while I get up at 5:00 in the morning so that I can joyfully go to work in a creative and emotionally crushing job until I'm 65 where the best part of my day is when I get to go out of the office for a smoke and the rest of the time I shuffle paper from one side of my desk to another while dealing with indecisive business ######ed individuals who have a severe misunderstanding of their own internal processes. Then I leave work late and to home so that I can get prepared to go back to work.
Yeah, men's lives are so damn simple.
