[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Hey Bob, what’s up with the attitude? I hear sighs and see eye rolls when I need help. You seem really annoyed at helping me, your spouse, who at the moment isn’t fully functioning. Am I an inconvenience? What’s going on?”

Be direct or say nothing. You’re tiptoeing around rude behavior. [/quote]

Piss spouse off, that always works out.

Right now, OP, you are a task/chore. Approach it as you would any other joint chore with your spouse. Set up expectations, be willing to compromise, come up with a plan. Example, "Bob at 10:00 a.m. will you help me get to the living room couch. I'll probably stay there until about noon.  We can order in or have lunch delivered, would you like to eat outside? If so what time works for you? After lunch I'll probably take a nap in the bedroom.  This evening, we could watch a movie together or I could work on a puzzle by myself.  I'll need some help brushing my teeth and getting changed.  Would it be easier to do before or after movie/puzzle time ?"[/quote]
