Have you tried going on strike?
Making meals for everyone except him.
Doing everyone's laundry except his.
Cleaning up the common areas and kids' bedrooms, but not his areas, if he has any. Perhaps telling him to sleep on the couch so that you can have a clean bedroom without having to clean up his stuff?
Not buying anything for him when going shopping.
Not consulting him at all on anything, making weekend plans with playdates and activities and seeing friends, but not telling him.

Basically, shutting him out until he sees reason.

Op here. this is where I have been headed recently. I figured it will help me adjust before a divorce, at the very least, give me a little more calm and quiet, and maybe reduce the workload. The idea that it will have an impact on him is not one I think is healthy to count on.

+1.

Pp who suggested the strike here. 
Don't be so sure about that. He may be a very clueless person, and not a bad person. I have implemented some version of that strike when my husband acted like a dick and went through periods of not lifting a finger in the house. The more you do for them, the less they do, and they get complacent about it!

So time to wake him up a little.

Act as a single mother. [/quote][/quote][/quote]
