divorcing husband early this year

Spouse helps with childcare, household chores, giving me a break as a stay-at-home mom. We've become closer lately, but I wonder if I'm taking advantage.

What I wish I knew
"Maybe my friend was right, I should consider my husband's feelings and efforts."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly with your partner and appreciate their contributions, rather than assuming you're taking advantage."
