It feels like I'm pulling a sack of potatoes behind me all the time. It's tiring. Why can't he pull me sometimes?

I think I'm just going to stop doing everything. If the house is messy and his ***** is all over the place, that's fine. I'll learn to live with it. If it gets too dirty, maybe I'll move out. At least I have friends that'll help me out. He only has his mom, no friends.
I understand that this is very tiring. I think that you shouldn't feel guilty about anything. There could be something wrong if he doesn't want to take care of himself. From what you are saying it sounds like your husband is playing the role of a child. He's not a child, and he could show you some respect by helping out. sometimes we need to be tough on a person to make them realize what they are doing.
