I am so angry at my husband right now I can barely see straight and I don't know how to discuss it with him. I feel like I do everything around the house and it's like pulling teeth to get him to do anything

Oh honey, do I EVER feel your pain. We have a bathroom that's been half finished for SIX YEARS. The stuff that needs to be done, I can't do myself. If I could I would. Either its too big for me to handle or I don't know how to do it, and by the time he explains it, he could have done it himself. If it was just something like painting, I WOULD do it myself. He knows I can't do it too, but he never gets around to it. Of course we're on the other end of the spectrum. I'm SAH and he works 14 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week. Plus a few nights as well. I don't see an end in sight.
I've been trying to get this done for that long, and it's been "in progress" for a year. I have done all of the more major stuff myself, or asked my dad to do it, this is something very minor. I just want him to do SOMETHING. Your hubby works longer hours than mine, but mine is responsible for kids when I'm not home, which I haven't been much lately.
I completely sympathize; I go through the same type of issues all the time, where it seems the husband does nothing around the house and I do it all. Very frustrating, and unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet. If so, I would gladly share it with you.
He might have...if he hadn't gotten dizzy, stupid menieres, although if he wouldn't procrastinate so damn much and just do it to begin with getting dizzy wouldn't get in the way so much.
I just get so frustrated and I'm tired of the excuses.
Finding out why he doesn't want to do it is a good idea, I might try that.
print it out maybe? leave it laying somewhere where he can see it, or will find it, and scribble an extra 'this is really making me upset, can we talk?' on it or something. DuNnO. That's what I'd do if I didn't want to talk about it...
Nice new layout, by the way. I don't know how new it is, but i'm never here anymore, so i like it ;)
That's a thought. Maybe stick it in his work stuff, or have Luvie email it to him >:) That sounds like a really good idea, you sure you aren't married;)
It's not too new, only a few weeks old. Good and summery.
yeah, i've got practice. i lived with my ex-boyfriend for 3 years, and i've lived with trav for a year now. i feel like it's a requirement, living with someone before you marry them, because you have to know if you mesh well. some things can't be worked through.
what happened? what'd you end up doing? Did you say anything?
I can't believe you have lived with anyone that long, you aren't that old, your're so young! Just a baby.
He and I got in a "discussion" about it this morning because I asked him yet again to do it last night, he said ok, and when I got up this morning I asked him if it was done he said no. I asked why not, he said you never got me more paint. I said you still have paint, why do I need to buy more. We got in a minor arguement about the fact that he thought we needed more, and I didn't. I went and bought another quart just so he'd finish painting tonight.
It too me going into a hysterical fit of pregnant rage to get my hubby to finish the baby's room. Although you're not pregnant, perhaps imitating what I described might help!

I hope he smartens his ass up soon!

I may have to kill him or paint him if he doesn't.
