[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At your wits end ~ does he make more money than you? You accept the imbalance. In some things, only the things that are actually important to you. He forget/doesn't pay attention to: his clothes, what he has available to eat, his things -- that's on him.

For one year, I was spent. Had zero energy for any more holiday prep. Gave the family notice, plenty of notice -- there won't be a Christmas tree this year unless you do it. Without me. For some reason the tree was a major stressor (for me). They believed me. And did it all.[/quote]

I remember doing this one. End result was there was no tree and no holiday prep at all. Helped me to realize that no one cared about this stuff enough to do it, so we no longer do any of it. It’s much easier.[/quote]

My MIL took the same approach: Do Nothing.

No vacations, no decorations, no holidays, no traditions, no real gifts ever, no sports, no bday cake, no anything. They sat home, took piano lessons, ate 50% off pies each day, houseguested at relatives on summer vacation.

They still sit around all their days but now it appears semi-normal since one retired at age 50 w a lay off and she quit teaching once having kids.

Divorced after 20 years. We might still be together if we had a regular cleaning service wink:
