This might sound a strong word but my partner enrages me due to his lack of "get-up and go" around the house. He owns a business which is his pride and joy and he's on top of all the minute business tasks but when it comes to the home he really isn't interested. I work full time and we have a toddler, I do pretty much 95% of the housework and for example for our sons birthday on our joint account I purchased, wrapped and arranged every present/cake/party/gift bag.
I've very recently come off antidepressants after 2 years which I'm ready to do, my mental health is good but my partner enrages me with his lack of care for the household chores and general life admin.
If I say can you fold these towels up he'll be on his phone, nod along and not do it, so that x100 times a day/week builds up to rage. I don't want to have to always ask him to clean/tidy/sort/DIY - I want him to do it without me asking and actually do it when asked, I sound bossy but we've been together 10+ years so I feel at my wits end with this.
He thinks I need to learn to control my annoyance but I feel like he needs to grow up and actually act like he lives here and isn't just a lodger. Any advice is welcome xx
