[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not emotional or verbal abuse. This is a couple who have a deep difference in priorities, coping strategies and communication. Also your timing is not good. Maybe set up a time to talk about it not as a complaint where you are asking him to do emotional labor but as a problem solving session in which you will need to first understand your own action points and be prepared to follow through. Counseling may make it easier to get to a resolution.[/quote]

Yeah. You could try a few more normal therapy things with this guy.

Say please and thank you.
Ask for a good time to discuss things. Put it on calendar. Hope for the best. 
Make lists and technology reminder systems.
Date night!  Date night with abusive spouses always works, right?
Couples counseling and let home rewrite the narrative to be a victim. 
Let it go! Don’t nag. Don’t expect anything. 
Hire a cleaning lady! She’ll make those tough family decisions for you, right!? 
Go on a vacation together! Sweep everything under the rug yet again and take a great time with a psychopath!

Do you want to know how many abused wives and children are trapped in an abuse cycle because of the above inappropriate “advice??”[/quote]
