My husband is lazy. He has only 2 chores to do, and he can't ever seem to do them. I ask him to do something, and he just sits there and most of the time he ignores me. I try to talk to him about important stuff, and he just sits there and ignores me. I try to tell him how I feel, and he just sits there and ignores me. I feel like I'm constantly talking to a brick wall. Then I get angry and yell, and it only makes things worse. I do most of the chores, and he very rarely lifts a finger to help me. On top of that, he complains that I ask him to watch our 13 month old son while I get the chores done. He thinks he deserves a "break" because he works "so hard". He works 8 hour days. He is the manager at his dad's auto body shop. He has it pretty easy compared to all the stuff I have to do every day. I'm a stay at home mom, which means I'm the cook, the maid, the laundry girl and the teacher/babysitter. Plus I keep important dates like anniversaries and birthdays, so none are ever forgotten. I feel so helpless. We don't talk anymore, because there is no point, and when we do talk, it's mostly me yelling because I'm fed up with his laziness. He just sits there. He never even responds when I tell him how I feel or what is going wrong in our marriage. Now we have another baby on the way, and I know that things will just get worse. I sometimes feel that I'd be better off without him. My sister thinks I'm verbally abusive to him, but she doesn't see or hear the whole story. I'm not a mean person...I'm just tired of doing everything and never getting a break, while he just sits around doing mostly nothing. I'm literally at the end of my rope. Help me please? neither of us believe in god or church. and we're both 25...and have been married for 3 years. some may say we're young...but i'm older than my mother was when she got married, so i don't think age has anything to do with it. james watkin...i'm not asking to be chastized. the first baby was planned...the second was not, but it's only a result of TWO failed forms of birth control. don't be so quick to judge. i'm asking for help here, so maybe you should have just kept your so called "advice" to yourself....
