Sits at computer to vent this entry out!


WHY? Why is it that if I don't ask for help or ask him to specifically do something, he won't do it but yet when I ask for his help, I'm told that I'm nagging? Then he has the nerve to tell me if I want to watch a movie I taped (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button---too much of a chic flic for him) that I can watch in Wednesday night since he'll be going to the range to practise shooting. OH REALLY?? I can, can I??


I hate to say it but suddenly I have a headache and HE'S NEVER GETTING SEX AGAIN!!!!


MEN!

    Why don't you show him this list so he can see how unbalanced your chores are? That is insane!

    Take your list of chores sit down with him and tell him kindly that you want to be able to enjoy your evenings more. Ask him if there is anything on that list that he'd be willing to help you with. Divide up the list, post in on the fridge so that you can both see your daily responsibilities. And then leave him alone if he does things differently than you would. See if it works.
