He should acknowledge your complaints, but he does not have to agree with them, and unless you are willing to stand up for yourself to press your issues, he has absolutely no reason to resolve your complaints either.
That's one of the biggest problems. He does acknowledge and for the most part, agrees with my complaints. The trouble is that he says he forgets to do anything about them - that I need to keep reminding him. It's just beyond ridiculous. For example - he supposed to be rebuilding the front deck we demolished on New Year's Eve. So far he has got the footings in. He hasn't been working and the weather has been fairly good. We discussed before we even started the job that it was to be done straight away (not like the other jobs started and taken years to complete), as it is the entry to our house and needs to be done. He wholeheartedly agreed and was very keen to get it done. So why is it still not done? Because I didn't remind him apparently. This I don't get because we have to make an extra 30 metre trip around the yard now to get into the house.
Another example is when he said to me a few months ago his boss would be having time in February off so if I could get extra work then, I should. This I did. Told him about it when I organised it, wrote it on the calendar, told him I wrote it on the calendar, put a roster on the fridge, told him I put the roster on the fridge, talked about work during the week and he gets up Monday morning and says, 'aren't you working today?'. Argh.
This is what life is like all the time. I'm sick to death of it. I feel like I am living with an dementia patient. Maybe all that pot he smoked in his youth killed his brain...

It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life
Waiting for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated.
