[quote=Anonymous]OP. Here's what you do. Refuse to clean. I tried to have this talk with DH about him contributing to the household upkeep and it just wasnt working.

Mind you I work longer hours and commute further for work than he does. We live in Alexandria. His job is 5 minutes from the house and I commute into DC.

In general I'm a tidy person as dirt and clutter bother me. It got to the point where I told him that I was not his maid. If you are buttering some toast and you drop some butter and or jelly from the knife onto the floor for goodness sakes clean it up!

So, I went on a cleaning strike. I have not lifted a finger in over a year. Well, I do clean up after myself and DS but not after DH.

This means that the place generally stays messy and it is embarassing to have guests over.

Every week or two DH will clean up his massive mess and then proceed to complain about the fact that he has to clean.

You have to put your foot down OP. If you let him treat you this way he will. Just stop cleaning.[/quote]
