[quote=Anonymous]I love the disengage idea but I just can't see how you don't boil over with resentment.

The other day my husband cleaned up a spill on the floor and showed me the paper towel and said, we really need to mop this floor.

Well, I had mopped the kitchen floor earlier that week.  Of course he did not notice./know that.

I said so and told him he was welcome to go ahead and do it. He got all huffy telling me it wasn't a criticism, just a comment. But it felt like a criticism. I never tell him "We need to empty the dishwasher, do laundry etc." That's passive aggressive in my book. I just DO it. Or if I want him to do it, I ask him.

Once he offered to mop and nothign happened. I asked why. he said he didn't know where the mop and bucket were. So I took out the mop and bucket and put it in the bathroom sink and it sat there TWO weeks, until I finally got tired of it and mopped myself.

I just don't see how to let go. I want to, but like a PP it makes me crazy to see him plop in front of the TV every night while i am cleaning the dishes/getting the kids ready for bed. I would LOVE to plop too, but stuff needs to get done. And then the temerity to point out the floor isn't spotless. Please.[/quote]
