[quote=Anonymous]I think at this point, you know the answer, OP. You've gotten as far as you can go. So, you accept it, or you divorce.

The only two other points (though I assume you've thought of these) are:

1) if managing any household tasks is not going to happen, can you give up on that but share the physical burden? Like, what if you said, "I do everything here. From now on, you do the dishes every night after dinner" and then when you saw him sitting, you said, "the dishes aren't done. Please do the dishes now." I would find this unacceptable (I'm not his mommy) but him grumbling and doing the dishes after being reminded four times is better than him sitting there, I think.

And 2) Stop doing anything for him. None of his laundry, no social responsibilities toward his family, don't buy anything from the grocery store that's just for him, no buying stuff like his shampoo. Is it a bit passive aggressive? Sure. But he made his own bed.

I'll also say that I would divorce in this situation, but I don't think it's an easy call. There's a real argument toward staying together and just accepting it.[/quote]
