[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is the same way. It gets old.

I’ve started looking into hiring a handyman- we can afford it. I don’t plan to check with DH first- I know once the work is done (if he even notices) he will be glad. He just wont ever take the initiative.  [/quote]

That's my husband, too.  I hire what we can afford to hire out.

Op, make a list.  Leave it on the fridge or somewhere he will see it.  Tell him you need him to do those things.  You shouldn't have to, but some people have no initiative. [/quote]

DP here. Lists didn't work for me, I tried.

Early in our marriage I assigned him the tasks I knew he would manage well because he cared. This includes bill paying, investing, setting up the 529's. He HATES to waste or lose money so will remember these things on his own. But he has no problem using a filthy, nasty toilet or seeing a laundry basket overflowing with dirty laundry. He has never bought a stitch of children's clothing in 15 years. [/quote]
