My wife works like a dog and I don't do anything. I have more than ten chores.
Tomorrow will be twelve or more. They tend to accumulate
I don't do none. She keeps nagging and nagging. The woman is persistent.

How to make her understand that I won't do anything. Because I have mental issues?.

You can't make her understand, that's the problem, . Even those who suffer don't tend to know the exact reason why they're suffering. You said so in your post you can't do chores because you have mental issues, but can you decipher that further? Maybe if you can get down deep you'll be able to move forward. . If you can't, then all you can do is your best.

Don't refer to her as a nag. It sounds so negative. She's a not a nag because she expects/hopes her husband can pick up a dish or two. I'm sure she envisioned a very different life than the one you're providing her, but "in sickness and in health," am I right? She's doing the best she can the same way you and and unfortunately it all starts with YOU. As soon as you start doing more the "nagging" will stop. Until then, this is your life.
Thanks for this!

The attitude of "I wont do none" is most likely what she is upset with. Example I struggle getting the laundrey done, but if I can manage to start it my husband is more forgiving because I tried. Same thing with the dishes, I might not get them all done at once, but I will at least do some. I also work full time so the extreme fatigue is often very nagging.

Mental health issues can keep us from doing chores, that's for sure. In your case, it might also be a little bit of stubbornness. Whatever the cause, I hope you help your wife soon. She deserves the help, and you deserve less nagging. So get in those chores man....and when you are finished, come pull some weeds in my backyard. They are taller than I am!
