My husband is a procrastinator. Help. - 03/31/13 01:16 PM
My husband and I have been together for 5 years total in our relationship, married for 2. He is a major procrastinator. We each have different work schedules so we each divide the house responsibilities. He works Monday-Friday everyday and I work only weekends. During the week, I do the house work and take care of the dog. During the weekend, I ask him to help out. But over the weekend when I come home, I'll see the trash overflowing, groceries not put away, dirty dishes lying around and it bugs me. I ask him to take care of it before I go to bed and get ready for work the next day but he just sits around and says he'll get it. I don't like waiting around for him to do it because I can't go to sleep knowing it hasn't been done and I have to constantly nag him for him to do anything. Which usually leads to an argument. All I want is for him to help me clean the house during the weekend when I work constantly. We don't have any kids and I'm afraid to have any right now for the fear he will procrastinate when taking care of them as well. How can I get him to see he procrastinates and get him to help me when I ask without being a nag? I need help ASAP.
