Yes this is a good read, it's how I learned about stonewalling. Had no idea it had a name before then.
Contempt was what destroyed my first marriage. It's almost impossible to reverse.
If you had a chance to have a do over, what you do anything differently?
Not marry her.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Can you afford a helper? Or even a part time cleaner?

If this is an issue, then you either need to get help or get your husband to help you, otherwise, your stress and exhaustion will manifest in resentment towards him.

A part-time cleaner is the most cost-effective option that retains the most privacy. I've noticed that (especially since COVID) part time cleaners seem to be gaining popularity as compared to live-in help. Though, for a new mom, we live in helper might be better to help with the baby.
