I'm at my wits end and need to know if I am expecting too much or not.
I'm 13 weeks with a planned baby. My husband and I have been together for eight years. The only blight on that time is his lack of help around the house. We both work full time stressful jobs, and have always had a list of jobs we each do. Unfortunately his are sporadic at best and ignored at worst. Hoovering, dishwasher and rubbish is all he has to do.
We both said we would do more to keep the house tidy and get in good habits now baby is coming. It didn't happen on his part. So a month ago I started the convo again which was ignored. I didn't want him to keep ignoring it so I basically didn't let up for five days. It worked for two weeks and now we are back to zero.
What in gods name do I do? I realise this is small potatoes to a lot of people. But his attitude is crap. He says he does other things (by which he means sorting out the majority of our remortgage) and works long hours so doesn't want to waste his time doing jobs when he could be having fun. I get his point but his complete lack of empathy and ability to get what I am saying is driving a wedge between us at a very special time.
I do more jobs anyway. All I want is for him to do those he agreed. I don't want to sound like an overbearing pregnant lady but I don't want to let this go. It's going to be harder with a baby.
Please please any advice would be amazing!!!
