[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s reasonable to want things done to your standard if you are mostly the one to do them. I like my kitchen counters cleared off and wiped down at the end of the evening, even if they’re going to get some new crumbs and fingerprints first thing in the morning. My husband thinks this is silly. so almost all the time, I do it. But if I’m sick, or busy, or just seem stressed and he says “go make a cuppa tea, I’ll finish the kitchen” he’ll do it. Because he loves me and wants to do things to make me happy, and if he says “I’ll finish the kitchen” and forget to clean the counters, I don’t complain because I love him and I appreciate the thought.

The up to snuff standard thing is a problem.

[b]But the leaving tasks incomplete and peetering out on everything is bizarre.

You don’t do that at work- send out a memo trailing off mid sentence in a section, or assemble a car but leave it on the line with a few parts sitting out, or start cleaning a patients teeth but skip one side[/b].

My guess is passive aggressiveness and pissed they are being told to do housework, or mental disorders they don’t care to improve on.

It’s definitely relationship killing to know you can’t count on your spouse. [/quote]
