[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: DH’s untreated anxiety is definitely part of the problem. But we also have basic difficulties getting along that I do not think will change with anxiety. For instance, I would attribute his reluctance to do equal share of chores to having being raised by a SAHM who outright told me that she waited on him and his father hand and foot in order to justify not working. I would say that I contribute by being impatient because I was the typical latchkey kid and grew up doing for myself. Having an adult who is so helpless sometimes really wears on my nerves.[/quote]

He sounds like a chauvinist thanks to his upbringing. How in the world did the two of you get together? Did you cohabitate before marrying? I don't think he has anxiety- more like irrationality. Your example of him setting arbitrary deadlines when there is no reason to is one example. It's not like you guys need to get on a plane. There is no reason to set a deadline when you're just heading out unless it's to do with weather or other appointments. He sounds like a weirdo. Call him out on his lack of rationality. I call my husband crazy and explain to him why some of his 'rules' are just stupid. You shouldn't fear having to do the same. Some people just need the sense knocked into them.[/quote]
