He’s a lazy oaf

-

QMy husband does nothing around the house. He expects me to wait on him hand and foot.

He goes to work and comes home, heading straight upstairs. I only see him when he comes down to eat the food that I’ve prepared.

Honestly, it’s like living with a teenager.

Half the time I feel like leaving him. But I don’t really know what to do.

ASounds to me like it’s time to shut up shop, petal.Stop cooking, stop cleaning and stop washing his stinky socks.

The reason he doesn’t lift a finger in your home is because he doesn’t have to.

You have made life very easy for him.

So take that away and he’ll realise how much you really do, and start helping.

Something will have to give and he’ll start appreciati­ng you more. When he gets in from work tonight, why not ask him what’s for tea?
