Can we talk about the cleaning? I am a stay at home mom with a hard working husband. I would never expect him to wake up early Sat. morning, take care of the kids, and clean the heck out of the house...albeit old fashion. Heck, I wouldn't even want to do that much cleaning on a Sat morning while watching 2 young children. Does everyone agree that is a crazy Sat. morning....while your wife is missing?
But you are in a functional marriage and not in "hate mode". This was by all desciptions a couple that was seperated but still living in the same house. Imagine if you had left for 8 days and left a clean house but came home to a wreck. Under the circumstances she may have demanded that he spend the weekend cleaning up his mess. I've tried hard to seperate myself out of this as to "what would I do". It's not easy because it's human nature. Example: my husband doesn't touch the laundry. That's my rule and he's fine with it. I don't want him messing up my clothes. (Lesson learned in the early days of marriage.) But, he does all the grocery shopping. It's not "traditional" but it is for us. So I can't say that he would or wouldn't have done any housework.
