[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Some good advice in here. But, that means that I have to do all of the work. DH thinks he does his fair share, so asking him to do anything is pointless. Infuriating. And now, even though I spent weeks telling him we don't have money, he discovers that we have way less money that he thought. So, I just have to do the budget. It was his responsibility to pay the bills, but for the last several months, it basically takes my student loan almost defaulting to get him to do it. I don't nag. I'm very patient. A couple reminders here and there when he's in front of the computer to do it. And, then last night... he didn't send off a fax for my car loan that I asked him to do three times, we got an order for something I told him I didn't mean to put in the Amazon cart (now I have to return it), my student loan bill not being paid, the lawn guy needing 2 months back pay, I just lost it. It sounds like the only way to save my marriage is for me to quit my 2 part-time jobs (I make my own hours at both) trying to keep my foot in my career just so I can do all the work at the house. Damn it, someone mailed us a big something, and he threw the box in the front yard where it sad for four days. After the first day, when one of the women from my neighborhood came over to pick something up and saw the box there before I could move it, I just left it until he moved it. Who puts a box in the small front yard? We looked like "those" people. Part of my problem is that he not only doesn't clean messes up, but adds to the mess constantly. And, if I don't keep moving, the baby will end up eating spoiled food she found on the floor, because DH gave her a banana and let it rot on the floor when she doesn't want it. Every single day. Now, I have to clean up crusted baby dinner off the couch, because he let the baby play try to feed herself on the furniture after dinner. It is unnecessary. Who puts a bowl of pasta with sauce on the couch for the kid to eat? That's why we have a high chair. And, because the baby dinner he put there was still on the ottoman this morning, I had to move it, because the kid decided she wanted to eat yesterday's dinner.

Most men are totally oblivious to exactly this shit.[/quote]
