[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classic DCUM: "My DH used to do things but I nagged, complained, and criticized everything he did. Eventually he gave up and stopped doing anything, and now I'm mad about that, but I refuse to acknowledge that my behavior had anything to do with it." Learned helplessness, what is it?[/quote] Here’s an example: my husband “helps out” by loading the dishwasher sometimes. But what he does is load super inefficiently, putting about half the dishes in, declares it full and starts it, leaving half the dirty dishes in the sink. He will often put one large pot or container in in lieu of 20 smaller items. I complained because this is stupid— clearly you should hand wash the large pot and not leave the sink full of small dishes. So he stopped helping with dishes and then says that I was too particular about it. Sorry if I think doing the dishes means ALL the dishes. In general, he will start a job and just do half of it to say he did something. [/quote]
