[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you not doin what he asks? Can you tell him when you think it's something he should do, or that you don't think needs to be done at all? Or that you will get to it at a certain time and it's not a priority right now?

I'll ask my husband to do something, he'll say yes and then won't do it. So I'll ask over and over and eventually he'll tell me he isn't planning to do it at all because of whatever reason. It's fine for him to have an opinion, but I wish he'd just come out and say it right away so we can discuss it and decide who is going to do it or if we won't do it at all.

I think I usually make some sort of excuse and claim I'll get to it later. I can see how that's annoying, but alternatively, if I say no, he's annoyed too. I feel like I can't win. Be honest, you'd be annoyed if he just said no, right?[/quote]

I wouldn't be as annoyed as I am when he blows things off for a week or more before telling me he never thought we should do it at all. DH avoids conflict at all costs, but I really would be angry if he just told me he didn't want to do it and I should do it. Like I asked him if he would sharpen our kitchen knives because I don't know how. Weeks later he finally told me he hates doing it and doesn't think they need it yet. Well if he had just said that I could have taken then somewhere to get sharper weeks ago instead of being annoyed every time I use a dull knife.

Might as well get it over with in one conversation and be done, then no more nagging. [/quote]
