[QUOTE="keista, post: 464958, member: 11965"] in my opinion this has A LOT to do with his increased stress. He tells you what you want to hear. He tells you what he thinks he's supposed to, BUT he HATES the idea of not being around for him ALL the time - you are messing with the status quo. I'm certain that his has a lot to do with why my husband left when he did. Youngest was going to start school, so I was planning on going to work, even part time, just to be ME. BUT even part time, husband knew he'd have to put in more around the house. Anyway, if I were in that argument, it wouldn't have taken so long to escalate. "MY HOUSE!"??????? Excuse me???????????????? Technically it's your Dad's estate's house because YOU refused to do the things you needed to do to make it officially YOUR house. End of discussion. And yes I did have a similar argument with my husband. since he was the only one working, he paid for everything, so in his mind it was his. I would point out that he doesn't even know how to change the filter of the A/C or even know where the back up sodas were kept. It did not always shut him up, but it was effective enough for me to not engage his nonsense any further so if he wanted to argue, he had to do it with himself. [/QUOTE]
