[quote=Anonymous]OP- my DH is like this too-- this year takes the cake. He got significantly more bonus money, stock, etc. and did not take the tax brackets into account. We owe so much federal income tax right now that it's making me physically nauseous. 
Like your DH, he's moody and difficult when I try to be more controlling of these matters, but when I'm not, this is what happens. I do think he has mild, undiagnosed ADHD. Our DS has ADHD (via neuropsych) and it's an inherited condition.
Like many people with ADHD, my DH does well on things that he's focused on and interested in, and will procrastinate or be inattentive to other matters like paying bills, or reviewing important paperwork. 
We had a sit down after this latest fiasco and made an agreement, that he will not be in charge of finances, but will have 50% of control and say so. I will manage bill paying, quarterly taxes, financial advisors and he will have all of the detail and input that he wants to have-- but I will make sure that what needs to happen, happens. 
I just wonder if you can take inventory of your DH's strengths and have an honest conversation? Maybe you need to splurge to have someone help with housecleaning for awhile- or do what I do-- my DH is fantastic at all errands if he has a list. I send him to grocery store, Home Depot, car tune ups etc. He does all of the outside work (leaves, lawn, etc). There is enough of this that I am satisfied that our labor is balanced. [/quote]
