How did I miss this one, LL. I only read your last reply.

I agree with the idea that if it bugs me, I should be the one to do something about it. It IS a bit frustrating, however, when he promises to do these things and then doesn't.

I can't take care of the taxes, it's all in his name, his paperwork etc. I can't fix the washer as I don't have the first clue what even to look at. (I could call a repair guy, but again CJ has said HE'D look at it! ).

But I DO think I'll (quietly) pack up some of those beer cases next few trips out of the house (have to practically drive past the beer store to get anywhere I'm going).

sharing a home can lead to many "problems" when things are expected to be taken care of by one or the other but the lines aren't clear...if it seems that the basement doesn't bother cj then perhaps keeping it clear of bottles shouldn't be his "job" but something that is more significant to him should be.

I agree with this too....only problem is, for the life of me I cannot think of anything around the house/yard that CJ considers important. Or more reasonably, more important than his school work.

Seriously. Had I not proposed we jointly take care of the three months of finances it would still not be done. I think even CJ would agree with that.

Thus that leaves me thinking that I would be left responsible for EVERYTHING around here, as things don't seem to bother him much.
