What do I do?
My husband is a sweet and amazing man and I love him but it is incredibly hard to get any help around the house. He is so insistent that I leave things for him to do because he wants to help out but then it never gets done. He always apologizes and promises to work on it but it still doesn't get done. For instance, I send him with containers of food to work and I ask that when he gets home he brings the containers in and rinses them out. I'm pregnant and the smell of food makes me sick so I can't really do it anymore without throwing up. Still 50% of the time he forgets them in his car and when he finally remembers to bring them in he forgets to rinse them out. So last night he had 3 dirty ones that needed rinsing. Two of which now have mold growing and I can't be around the smell of them open with throwing up. So I asked him to rinse them. He forgot to before bed but said he would take care of it today. He even set an alarm and got up early so he would have time. Low and behold, when he goes to do it I hear him playing videos in his phone and when I get up to tell him bye two of the theee containers are still there. Now he says he will do it tonight he promises🙄 Claims he just didn't have time this morning. He watched videos for 15 minutes then "pooped" for a half hour. Then Thursday I asked for his help cleaning and gave him a small list of the things that require heavy cleaning product like bleach that I try to avoid now. He said he'd do it. Two days later he only cleaned the litter boxes. The only other thing on the list was the bathroom and of course the containers. Neither got done. So now he works the next 4 days and won't be home to help so I have to do it. He ends up doing other little things to help like unloading the dishwasher or throwing some cardboard boxes away but the problem is those are things that I can easily do. I need him to focus on the things I actually can't do and need help with right now. He keeps telling me to leave it for him but the last thing I left for him is still sitting there right now, a month after I asked him to take care of it. I reminded him. Wrote him out a detailed list so he would know what he was doing and how to do it and I reminded him. I'm so beyond frustrated. Advice please!!!
