Do you have to shovel all that heavy snow or does he just get up and shovel it for you before you have to leave??

I realize that there are many different situations. But If you HAVE to get to work, then no he shouldn't shovel for you. He should shovel so he can take you to work. So he can prevent you being stranded on the highway some where alone. Thats what love is about ! If your man won't shovel for you, then you are facing a problem thats building up. The love isn't what it should be. He pledged his undying love for you when you married him. What has gone wrong. to all of us that are married or have been married, LOVE GROWS STRONGER with the years of being married. You don't marry someone you can live with, You marry someone you can't live without.

Well, we help each other. People should help each other always!
I live in Chicago currently and we had a huge blizzard a couple of weeks ago. I was digging my car out for 20 MINUTES with this young, able-bodied, male taxi driver waiting the whole time to take my spot. He never got out to help, just watched me, a 5ft 2 115 lb woman, shoveling show.
When I was done shoveling I walked up to his window and asked sweetly "Oh! Are you waiting for this spot?" He said "Yes." So I said "Well you're not going to get it, I'll sit in my car as long as it takes for you to leave." And I did. He waited for another 20 minutes before he finally drove off.
I would have felt the same if it were a young, able-bodied woman though.

Can't say I'm that far along in the relationship, but if we were that close, I think I'd be doing the shoveling, even if it'd take forever!

We do the heavy parts together. He shovels what I can't lift and I scrape the car windows while we talk together.

Did she have dinner on the table for him last night when he came home from work?
If she is snowed in, why does she have to leave?
The kids can scoop since they will have a snow day from school.

Explosives or flamethrowers are so much easier.
@Serena - but burning all that gasoline was stimulating the economy! And, with a trailer hitched to your tractor you could mount multiple flame-throwers on the back and really kick some snow-butt!

I'm single, so I'm on my own. Sadly, when I was married, my lazy-a$$ huband wouldn't dig me out, either. Once my sister had to come and help me dig out. What a loser.

No.
I don't wait for it to acculate.
If you sweep it away continuously you will rarely have a problem.
Even as its snowing, I'm a-sweeping.

No...I have to use the tractor.
Edit: Rowdy, I've been wasting so much time, and gasoline. I'm ashamed!

I don't live with him currently but of course I would help him...

Usually I just get my girl's car unstuck by driving out of it. Girls are to timid too do it on their own.

It's summer here...
