[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So just handle that stuff yourself without discussion.  Let him know he can have some input whenever he wants to discuss it but otherwise you will take care of it.[/quote]

So she should just give up expecting anything from him? She doesn't get to have a true partner in this relationship?[/quote]
On those things, yes.  Everything doesn’t have to be a big discussion.  I like to garden, husband doesn’t.  So I should try to engage him in a discussion about what to plant?  I do the grocery shopping and he doesn’t care.  Should I run the brand of bread by him?  He decided to use a different car mechanic this time, but I don’t care.  Does he need to run through the reasons why with me? No.  Just do it and be done.[/quote]

Pretty much this. Disappointment is usually due to expectations not meeting reality. You can't really change him. You can tell him a couple times how it's important to you that he's involved in some major practical decisions but only he can decide to be engaged. If he's not then either decide you will bear that burden or move on me find someone else. 
Everything doesn't have to be a big discussion of course but it's very draining and exhausting when one partner carries the household life burden and the other only benefits. [/quote]
