I know you explained the dish washing thing before but I wonder if there is another way to go about this. I'm referring to a way to 180 his butt. I know the dishes really bother you. Have you tried not saying a thing? Nothing. Just don't do them. You know what I mean? No sighs, no slumping shoulders, no sort of flopping around letting any irritation show? (these are things I *might* have done in the past) Just cook dinner, and let it go. If they are still there the next morning then you can choose to do them or let them pile up. It's not the end of the world. If they are still there the next night you could order take out. lol Sorry that's likely not good advice. The take out part. But just try to not react the same way you have been. Don't ask repeatedly. Don't say a thing. You could also just start doing them yourself. In order for that to work though you would have to be able to do it without resentment or anything. I have a friend who's H won't do a daggone thing until she gets tired of waiting and she gets up and does it herself. Then he rushes over and does it.
