[quote=Anonymous]I so understand where you are coming from OP.  I dealt with the pen issue too.   And similar tirades about leaving on lights, etc.   It got so bad at my house that despite my working full time, doing lionshare of child duties (and child has autism), and 80% of housework that no matter what I did, he was always going to say something or complain.   I could take a PTO day and clean all day and he'd complain that I left a pen out without a top.

It only gets worse.  After four years of trying and therapy and whatnot, I finally realized that this was never going to change.   He used my lack of systems as an excuse for him not to help with anything in house.  Can't do dishes as he can't understand my disorganized system for where things go, can't shop or put away food from shopping as I have "boobytrapped" the cabinets and he doesn't know where things go.   Can't help with straightening up as he has no clue where things should go.   Then I got even more tired and fed up and it just snowballed.

I went to therapy and started to realize that I HATED walking on eggshells with him, that I could not be my normal self and that I constantly was anxious around him.  We are separating now.

So while my example is extreme this type of crap does erode the strength of your marriage.

Hope you find a better ending![/quote]
