[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 160068, member: 47"] "I have to ask the population here, if all men are similar to this?" In my experience, I think it is. I know with SO, (same with DEX) he would never just "do stuff" cause it needed done, or needed improving somehow. Doing stuff around the house was just not up there on the top 10 list. I won't say I didn't nag at first but at some point I just gave it up. The lawn was a constant source of irritation when it came to DEX - I liked it nice and tidy, he didn't care. If I did it, it was an all day project cause If I do something, I do it all the way, meaning edging, trimming, picking off dead blooms. If I nagged enough, I would get it mowed, period. But then would be mumbling under my breath for the rest of the day cause it wasn't up to my expectations. And SO was pretty much the same, and funny enough, Danny follows in the males footsteps - will mow with just one request, but isn't into edging, and doesn't consider the side of the house, the city green strip, which I am responsible for keeping neat, part of "our"property. Which is why I now have a gardner - its a well spent 40.00 a month - three guys and they do things exactly like I want them to, if not, they can be fired. Its one less thing to cause any friction in a relationship where the positives really outweigh the negatives. I was finding that one point of disconent spills over into other facets of the relationsip and really, life is too short to be constantly dealing with negatives. Marcie [/QUOTE]
