[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make him a list?

I can only imagine how well it would go over and the names that would be called if a husband handed his wife a list he had made of what he expected her to do during the day.  He really needs to address the anxiety as it is preventing him from functioning and that is likely depressing him more. Is he open to talking to a doctor about it? [/quote]

My husband leaves me lists of things that need to get done. It's not every day or anything, but there's a notebook in the office where he jots down what needs to happen. It's a way of making sure things don't fall through the cracks. I may go in there tomorrow to straighten up and see

Tuesday: 
mail birthday card for Gina
cook or freeze chicken before it goes bad
drycleaner
review Italy itinerary

Now he won't beat me or anything if I haven't accomplished it all, and I may even talk with him during the work day and tell him I was too busy with other things so could he pick up the drycleaning on the way home from work. [/quote]
