Husbands' non-cooperation

5. Hates it when I read a rather interesting book all night, but does not mind watching a gory movie and drives me away to the next room..lol :hide:
6. Never picks up a glass or spoon by himself. Nor a towel or hanky. Why do it when I'm around?? :bowdown
7. Shoes never in place, strewn around the entrance way and wet towel on the bed. :rant
8. Manages ALWAYS to find my ironed clothes and sits on them. :thumbsdown
9. Never likes what I like. So I've had to give up cooking my favourite recipes. :spin
10. He always wins the movie argument - we watch what he wants to. So I sit and watch my movies alone. :-(
11. Always always manages to switch on the "selective hearing mode" when I am talking about something important. He suddenly goes deaf, and this syndrome has been in his life ever since we got married. tskshakehead:

But I guess he'll have just one complaint about me - I analyse and then over analyse every situation and can't stop talking about it. So I guess its not such a big deal after all.

 

Lol...I can understand..
But I guess that is what makes life the way it is - exciting. My friend's mom told me once - You girls always crib about your husband not doing things. Assume and accept that he's never going to do those things and you'll have this new energy to do them yourself.
That is very true. I do these small things at home myself. And when I want something communicated, I call him to the sofa and explain it like I do to a 5 year old..Cos I know for a fact there's every chance for him to get distracted and disinterested and drift away a million times in the 2 minutes in need to convey what I need to.
End of the day, when you vent this out, you 'll feel much better.

 

yup i agree with tanoshi.if u will keep thinging abt makng him to do the stuff u will b like a pendulum.yes or no yes or no.worst part of this attitude is that they never simply refuse to do that thng .they say ok but in their mind its decided that ...........m not gonna do that.

 

This reminds me of one more incident. And this is not just in my house, its happened to almost all my friends.

Suddenly, out of the blue, sometime is a year my husband falls in love with me all over again and says he'll help me out with the chores at home. This usually is like a trick question for me.
He'll say he'll clean the bathroom - the one job I could live without. But he'll have his rules. He'll clean it only when HE thinks its dirty. And while it looks dirty to me every other day, to him its once or maximum twice in a month. So I end up doing it myself.
He'll offer to do the dishes one romantic night. I'll be all thrilled, but I also know what's coming next. He'll take about 45 minutes to one hour cleaning them and after that I spend 30 minutes cleaning the mess he's made..lol :rotfl
He'll say he'll iron the clothes. That happened even 2 days back. I have to get him the iron board, the iron box, fill the water for the steam iron. Else I'll be asked a thousand questions about each and finally, he'll do the ironing and I have to start all over to out them all back in place. Else they'll start living where they are!! lol

This usually starts with two different scenarios:
1) I let him do it and will do the clean up after it, while I crib why in God's name did I ever bother to decide so. That usually ends up with him saying "I help you and this is how you repay me???"
2) I refuse. I say when some day I am not well or for some reason am not able to do it myself, please offer that day. For which his reply would be "See I am offering to help and you are not letting me. Don't bother pointing out that I never do these things for you, cos I am trying."

So what do I do next?? I used to yell at him that he is putting me in a spot either way. Now I kiss him on the cheek and thank him for training me to develop more patience..lol :rotfl

 

lol..That is something..How come everything coming out of only the wife's mouth becomes evil??? :rotfl
