Starting to get it.... my 3rd thread

Ann, Try something different and solution oriented and see what happens:
(1) Try the exercise on the marriage builders website for domestic chores; what have you got to loose?
(2) Do not ever criticize or nag him; instead truly appreciate every little thing he does that pleases you (just for 1 day to start with; it won't kill you)
(3) Ask for what you want with "I-messages" not "You-messages" and see if this makes a difference; try it just for 1 day and choose a good time to ask. ("I prefer ...", "I feel hurt when ...", etc. instead of "You should ...", "You are critical ...")
