MSM; It sounds like some progress has happened in your sit I am happy for that but it does sound and from your view I'm sure oh so slow. The prevous advice on this thread I would consider good. The only thing I can think I might add is, when doing those those nice thing you mentioned, DON'T let him take over. Just tell him that you started what ever it is your doing and you ARE going to finish. He maybe feeling guilty, let him. Now you might try redirrecting with that. When he comes in and trys to take over like a meal give something like this a go. msm, "thanks for offering dear, but I have things just the way I want them. I would appreciate your help tho. How about you (blank) like you said you would do. That would really hep me out." The blank could be an number of things, check on my car, put the lawn furniture away for the season, ect. Then when it's done tell him you appreciated what he did. If you can get him to "help" you, doing little things later you can get his "help" with some fun things. Many guys are fix-it kind of critters. We also like "helping" people we like or love. Also, look at doing some prementive planing. You want to make a nice dinner, before you even start, get him going on something or send him on an errand. Then you'll be well along when he gets back. And don't all ways make it a honey do kind of thing. Suggest he go check on something he likes or part of a hobby. Another thought is when he comes home tail between his legs just draging, suggest that he looks as he could use a rest why don't go lay down or put your feet up for a bit. Hope this helps.
