[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that he feels he does more because you don't do the little stuff.  There may be a lot of small tasks that you wither don' notice or don't think are worth doing that he just takes on.  But keep in mind that when someone says, "Will you do X?"  And you say, "I'll get to it."  You just committed to doing it.  So, yeah, it's sort of fair game to hound you at that point.  As a PP said, better to be forthright and have the fight once than to procrastinate the fight by feigning agreement when you actually disagree.  Next time he asks you for something, respond with your actual feelings:
"I hate that chore, but I'd be willing to do Y while you do X."
"I don't think that's neccessary and I'm not willing to spend my time on it."
"I've never done that before and don't feel like investing time for a learning curve."
"I don't like that you are assigning me that job like you are the boss.  If you are willing to sit down and negotiate who does what then we can decide this together."

You are being super passive-aggressive.[/quote]
