[quote=Anonymous]OP here: he avoids both big and small tasks. Nagging works better on the smaller ones, I think. The only thing he likes to do most of the time is cook, so that and grocery shopping are actually an even split. (Yes, I have suggested he take those over entirely. He doesn't want to.)

We do outsource some things (like big yard projects), but a couple problems with that idea: (1) he sometimes is really intent that HE is the only one who will do something right (he just might not get to it for a few years...); and (2) I already pay more than my share of our joint expenses [distinct but related issue] and refuse to pay more just to further his laziness. Also, a regular cleaning service wouldn't work for me, because I would be one of those people who has to clean everything before the maid gets there.

It actually crossed my mind that it might be nice to have my MIL move in so she can share nagging/cleaning responsibilities. That might give you an idea of my mental state.[/quote]
