[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you are disappointed that this is who he is, kind of clueless and self absorbed.  However, I bet you already knew he was like that.

I suggest with guys like him that you just directly tell him what you need him to do, specifically and in detail, don't ask just tell him.  The mistake you made was letting him use his own judgment when you probably already knew his judgment is often lacking.  At a time such as you recovering from surgery  there is no room for him screwing things up so don't give him the opportunity.

Here is an example:  "No, this not a good time to walk to the store.  I need my meds right away and I need you to fix or buy dinner.  Go get my meds and dinner now.  After that if you want to go for a walk you can do that once the kids are settled."

It may take a little time for you both to adjust to this dynamic but ultimately you will both be happier.  You will get what you need from him and he won't feel stupid for needlessly screwing things up.[/quote]

yeah but she was recovering from GA. She couldn't and shouldn't have to think that clearly. He should have driven to the pharmacy, picked up the pain meds, driven back home, and then INstacarted the food including something for dinner while watching the kids while she rested. He should know to do that. Yes if he does not she should tell him but she was sick and recovering and not in any shape to do that and she shouldn't have to do that.[/quote]

Me again. I just saw the poster who said, "Who drinks cheer wine?"

Southerners! I am one, or at least used to be and sort of still am. OP, your husband is a white southern man who grew up being babied and not having to lift a finger in his house, am I right? Yeah, they generally are not good husbands. Sorry![/quote]
