[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is partially my fault...

We are both early 30's, no kids. My job is not as demanding as his job, but I still have a lot on my plate. Nevertheless, because being helpful is my nature, I started taking over most of our life logistics; bill pay, car maintenance, grocery shopping, etc.

He has gotten very used to this, and now really tries to dump as much as possible on me. For example, he had work trip and for some reason a parking meter wasn't taking his work credit card, so he used one of our personal cards. He then messaged me asking me to send him the statement so he could submit it for reimbursement. He got annoyed with me when I sent him the login details to the credit card instead (which I have given him in the past and in my opinion he should save and use as needed).

How did I let this happen? How do I get out of it? Gahhhh.[/quote]

You tell him that.

"Steve, I feel like because my job isn't as demanding as your job, you rely on me to take care of administrative details. While I'm happy to do some of that, I'm not your secretary, and I need you to take responsibility for things that you have access to. There's no reason that you shouldn't be able to log into our credit card and print a statement yourself, for example."[/quote]
