[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say "Hey, honey. I want to talk about my requests and your irritation with them. What am I missing here?" Then, tell him you don't like to have to tell him to pick up his beer cans or make more work for you. Remind him that you do a lot to be considerate of his needs. The advice to be passive/aggressive, or bite him during a bj is just stupid. [/quote]

I agree I don't want to be passive-aggressive and that a lot of the "advice" here isn't going to help me or my marriage. But I'm confused why when I bring up this subject he just says "you ask for too many things." And I end up feeling frustrated.

Like tonight... He got home about 6. I got him a beer. He plopped down on sofa. I cooked dinner. While cooking I asked him about cleaning something up, this is now an hour or more since he got home. He got really pissy. I said "I'm hearing you sound really mad that I'm asking you do this thing." He said "You just seem like you're awfully... pushy." [I think he wanted to say "bitchy" or something like that but then decided that the 'nice way' to say it was "pushy."!!!]

I just don't know what to say?! I feel really frustrated. And angry.[/quote]

I'd start by not getting him a beer. WTF. He can get his own damn beer. This isn't 1950, stop catering to him.[/quote]
