Husband Advice Needed.

So here is the situation. I love my husband very much. He is a sweet man and we still laugh, joke, and get along like we did the first day we met. The problem is that he NEVER remembers to do anything when I ask him too. For example, today I was leaving for work and asked him to make sure the beans I was cooking don't burn. I came home and you could smell them from outside, they were completely charred onto the bottom of the pot. I had just spoken to him earlier and he said that they didn't burn and he had added a little more water and moved them off the burner. When I asked why he said that when they were obviously burnt, he said he didn't notice and they didn't smell when he left them. They were on an off burner. He also claimed that he had been checking them every half hour. Anywho, so I also asked him to put some cupcakes in the freezer so I could finish them when I got home and they needed to go in then so that they would be ready by tonight. I came home and found them in he fridge. I asked him to clean up his nightstand and I came home and he had only half done it. I've talked to him over and over again and nothing changes. It is at the point that I literally just assume things won't happen when he says he is going to do them because they never have in the past. He works 40 hours a week so I don't expect a ton of help. I had already scrubbed the bathroom, vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen, cooked lunch, made his lunch for work, and folded laundry. I just asked him to complete 3 small tasks. Ugh, I don't like not being able to rely on his word as being enough. When I talk to him he gets all hurt and offended that I feel this way. He also gets all upset when I remind him to do stuff because he claims he will remember, then he doesn't. But if he doesn't and you bring it up he gets all upset because he didn't do it and he is sorry he just forgot. Help!!!!
