[quote=Anonymous]OP here and these responses are wild. I don't have some huge, fundamental issue. This is something he does *sometimes* that annoys/confuses me because he's generally a very competent person. The specific examples I gave are not even really the issue (I know the food thing is frustrating because I also get really exhausted with that, the cleaning stuff doesn't annoy me that much).

More I'm just wondering why causes an adult to feign incompetence and was wondering if this is what people mean by "weaponized incompetence" because I do suspect it's how he chooses to get out of doing things he doesn't want to do. There are things I don't want to do, too. But I don't pretend I'm incapable. I say "ugh, this is my least favorite thing -- can you handle and I'll do XYZ instead?" Or "I need a break from doing X, can you take that this week and I'll take it back after" or whatever.

My question wasn't about divorce (lol) or even how to handle these specific examples, but rather trying to understand this method of communication because I don't get feigned incompetence as a tactic. My sister also does this sometimes and I don't get it.[/quote]
