[QUOTE="keista, post: 476589, member: 11965"] ((((HUGS)))) Sounds like a very classic dilemma between men and women. Also, it sounds as if Tony is frustrated and scared of your disability, so is hiding in denial. more ((((HUGS)))) I see only one solution. Is it at all possible to hire some ppl to help clean up the house? Even Cory and Billy. One weekend, X dollars and 'lets get it all done.'

Maybe THAT will drive the message home to Tony that you REALLY are not physically able to do this stuff. by the way I'm NOT saying to get this done by Thanksgiving. He should absolutely not have extended the invitation without checking with you first. (by the way, my Dad does that to his wife ALL the time) We had a mini discussion about this on another thread. I 100% get that you can't do it yourself. The men don't. But the current problem is that the state of your house has deteriorated and become the status quo.
