Going downhill? Positivity please!

My husband and I have been married three years and have a one year old baby. I’m starting to feel like our marriage is going downhill and I need reassurance. We don’t really ever argue but I’ve recently started noticing how little he does around the house, or for himself in general. I guess it’s always been this way, but I think now I’m exhausted from work/baby balance I’m noticing it more. He never does any housework unless I ask him to, and even then I feel like I’ve asked the world of him. I try to leave things until he notices but I just get sick of it. I try to explain my logic how it’s fairer if we both do a job rather than me doing two but it goes in one ear and out of the other. I do really love him but this is getting me down and I want to deal with it without nagging. Any help would be appreciated

We found don't ask to do something.
Say instead, do you want to do a or b?
This way he can't just say no as that is not an option.

What does he say when you tell him how this makes you feel?
If he is dismissing your feelings then that is not good.
Would some joint counselling help do you think?
