[quote=Anonymous]My husband is like this and I just had to reframe my thinking. He took out the trash but did not put a new bag in the trashcan. That used to frustrate me. Now I’m glad the only task left for me is to pit in the new bag as opposed to both taking the trash out and putting in that new bad. I mean if he is doing 80% of 20% of household tasks, that sucks. But if he is doing 80% of say 70% of household tasks, that’s more than 50% of the total. That may well be where DH and I are if you take out the hard to quantify mental load. I also read something like for couples who each do approximately half, they both tend to feel like they do way more than that. So really think about what all he does. I choose to just be happy with all of the things DH does, even if he isn’t “finishing” a task in my mind. [/quote]
