What's cheaper a divorce or a cleaner (lighthearted)

I adore my DH, he is a good husband but he hates housework so therefore I do most of it. Both work full time, him from home or travels internationally, me 2 hour commute. We agreed that he could do more, he said he just doesn't 'see' what needs doing and I admit I'm overly house proud. So we need to meet in the middle, I appreciate that. He asked me to draw up a list of what needs doing daily and he could chip away at things through the week. The list has been on the kitchen bench for the last 2 weeks untouched !!!!!
I've just been promoted at work, should I use the extra money on a cleaner or a divorce? How can I get him to see what needs doing, he'll put on laundry and take it in or cook. But getting anything else out of him is impossible !!! I can't do it all anymore .....

Get a cleaner, he pays. You both know he is never going to reach your standards.

Get a cleaner and allow him to do laundry only. I hate people who cook who don't clean up properly after themselves. Just because you cook doesn't excuse you from cleaning surfaces afterwards and expecting someone else to clean the 100 pans you decided to use.

Get a cleaner.

He isn't a messy cook - but for example. Would get stuck into cooking rather than tidying up the kitchen first (emptying the bin, dishwasher or putting away dishes) drives me nuts !!!
