So tired of my husband

It’s sad - but highly unlikely to change.

The older he gets.....

Disagree. My 74 yo dad still helps take care of their two house, yards, cars, boats and pitches in with watching our kids or my brothers out of state kids. He and mi. Make a great team and are still super cute! We’re doing their 50th anniversary party next year and it should be good.

That is so true! My 60 year old ADHD husband just gets worse. He would never run out of gas because the cars are his thing.

He has gone to a soccer field before and cheered on a team of children he does not know thinking it was his son’s team. Even after the game was over and he was looking for his kid and could not find him

He empties the dishwasher in a totally random/ different every time way

Leaves clothes on any flat surface he sees

Loses important documents

Always 10 minutes late

Forgets to eat

*he also*

Took my DD in at age 2 and has never once treated her differently than his children. He is a wonderful dad to her. He surprises me with flowers and Diet Coke (my chemical romance). He shuts down the house at night and gives us all a kiss when we’re sleeping. He always comes running when he hears my clumsy self drop something or yell “dammit” in the kitchen. He’s great and helping with math and science homework. We’re constantly giving each other a squeeze or a kiss when we pass by.

So that let’s me laugh and just pull the plates out of the drinking glass cabinet. I’m VERY frequently confronted with a cold cup of coffee in the microwave that he forgot. So I heat it up and bring it to him and he always says “oh I forgot! Thanks honey”

See how that works?

He sounds kind and not self centered. That counts for a lot.

What would you suggest? Why do you assume that many of us haven't tried to do many different things about it? That's part of my frustration-I've tried and tried and tried, but nothing ever freaking changes.

Same question here. There are some truly helpless and useless men out there.

I'm the PP who said that my husband would never act like that at work and asked the questions above. I don't think my husband is truly helpless and useless because he's got a successful career, so it's got to be that he's making a choice to slack at home and I find that infuriating. It's most certainly not endearing.
