He doesn't call her so she comes to me. Same with the friends.


So refer them back to him, each and every time. And if it doesn’t happen, that’s his problem.

If it were me, after redirecting them a couple times, I’d stop answering entirely.

Came here to say this. Maybe this can be combined with the identical thread from today?

Maybe if you stopped whining on DCUM (and undoubtedly other places) you’d have more time for administrative tasks.

Because nothing revs up a woman’s engines faster than a giant man baby.

Ha ha exactly. From the sound of OP she never puts out ever. Just complains and complains and complains.


Why would anyone put out for a DH who doesn't do anything? It's so unsexy.


Oh just stop. This is entirely on her. If he doesn’t engage with his family or invest his own money then that’s all on him. She’s clearly a control freak. And THAT is super unsexy.


Yes. And if the determinant of one's marital attraction is "responding to birthday party invites," that's pretty grim.

Unfortunately, this is not unusual. Securing life insurance was on his list and it took five years. I asked him to schedule one orthodontist appointment and it’s been two months and rescheduled once.

But of course, he can do the work admin tasks he needs to do.

I have mostly accepted the family admin role. My consolation is that he does more household cleaning.

Why do you think married men live longer than single men - their wives often cook healthier meals, nag them to make that doctor’s appointment, etc.

Set up a family group chat (for the MIL chats) and a family email account/shared calendar with automated reminders.

Tell him you can be his mommy or his wife, but if he chooses mommy, he doesn't get his d*ck sucked.

I got sick of the same dynamic in my marriage and eventually divorced.
