[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with what has been said regarding doing less yourself and setting him up to do more. And you need to merge finances stat. But I would also say, do some thinking about how you communicate with him. If every time you ask him something goes badly, you need to try a different approach. He is probably whining and criticizing you to distract you from the task. Do not be distracted. Do not ask him to "help". Say "I am no longer willing to do all of the cooking. On Friday night, dinner is your responsibility." Or pick something else like driving a kid somewhere, so that he feels some heat. Then prepare to let the chips fall and ride out the blowback. Next time he accuses you of breaking his balls or whatever, say "That is disrespectful. I think we need marriage counseling." Repeat like a broken record and if he doesn't changer his ways, make the appointment.[/quote]
