I have been with OH for 10 years its my 28th birthday next week. OH has always wanted things his own way and I was happy to be led for the first few years of the relationship. My career has taken off and I don't like being ordered about I want a 50/50 partnership. We are having real problems with communication and passive aggressiveness. My OH outright refuses to do ANY shopping, I have to pester him to do basic chores he says I want him to do everything. For example I might ask him to pass me the charger from upstairs. He's already upstairs and I just want him to chuck it down or when the tv is about to go on standby he won't get up and click the remote, I always have to do it.
I want to save our relationship we have a DD who is 7 years old but I really can't stand him 60 percent of the time and the feeling is mutual.

Tell him you don’t want him to do everything, just half of everything because that’s what you are meant to be , a partnership. But if he’d prefer to do 100 percent of his own things and 50 percent of everything for your child then that’s cool.
