My husband works a lot, so he's not home that much.
When he is home, it's like a tornado has hit the house.
We keep fighting because I apparently ' nag ' and ' moan ' and won't leave him alone.
I'll just give you an example of what he does :
When he makes cereal or anything, his instinct isn't to take cereal, milk etc out - use them and then put them straight back. He just leaves it all on the side. It will still be out, hours later, so I ask him please to put it away. When he eats, he leaves it all on the table. He just gets up and does other stuff. It doesn't cross his mind to clear it up. I always have to remind him. That's just two tiny examples. But as soon as he's home, it's a mess.
I always have to ask him to do stuff and he just keeps flipping back at me. I don't know how to get through to him or change things. He does other cleaning up jobs, to be fair to him- like sorting out amazon packages and and bins and yesterday he cleared our utility room etc.
I asked him please to pick up the baby toys off the floor and Chuck them in the toy basket before he went to bed last night. I'm about to give birth, so bending down is really difficult for me at the moment.
Of course he didn't bother and when I said I was disappointed, we had another fight. It's constant fighting basically about these things.
I mean come on, why can't you consistently put your plate at least near the sink after you've eaten ? And put the milk back in the fridge after you've used it and not leave it for 5 hours. It's very very very frustrating and we are really starting to hate each other I think. There are no longer any nice words really. He also just seems fed up of me in general. Never listening to what I have to say and just seems so bored when I talk. He just looks away all the time and doesn't really respond. I have to constantly ask him if he's listening to me because he just seems to be ignoring me and not engaging properly.
