[quote=Anonymous]DW here. I work full-time but I am 100% responsible for planning any/all trips, holidays, family visits, etc. The few times it's been left to him, he gets around to it a few days before the trip and we've got zero options, etc.  It's just not his forte. It's clearly a chore for him. But he's so happy and grateful for all that I put into planning a nice trip for the two of us and/or my stepdaughter so I bask in his appreciation.  If I try to solicit his opinion about things he will humor me but like a pp said, if I didn't mention a word about it, he'd be a happy man. Except maybe, maybe, the destination itself. MAYBE.

But having said that, we have a good overall division of labor so when I catch myself being annoyed and wishing he were more involved (and after awhile, it can become more like a chore), I remind myself that it's not like he doesn't do anything. He cooks more than I do and I'm sure he secretly wishes I wanted to do more but doesn't get on me for not stepping up.  Plus he makes way, way more than I do so he pays for all the amazing trips I plan, so who am I to complain?[/quote]
