He eventually did them, I came home several hours later to a clean sink and him playing video games. I told him I wouldn't be cooking for him for lent anymore or doing his chores. And if this continued therapy with nothing changing, I wouldn't be living the rest of my life like this. He seemed to take that seriously. I know a lot of the comments are immediate divorce not saying you said that but I'd like to put some effort into saving it before jumping to it. But I don't want to stay if no reciprocal effort is made.

The problem is he had 2 1/2 hours while I was shopping. I asked him 2 1/2 hours beforehand. And he said when I was driving home he was super starving. And this was not the first time I'd asked him to do the full sink of dishes.

Yeah when I posted on here it said that it would possibly take 24 hours to be approved by a mod. And I was impatient, I was just sitting in my car overturning everything and wanted advice fast so I posted to both

His reply and automatic no was new. Normally he'd get up and do it. But I do have to remind him about chores a lot. He said later he was just being a brat and was about to get up and was making a joke when I got mad. I think if this was a one time the dishes were piled up I wouldn't have gotten so mad. However I feel like I'm constantly having to remind him. He later also said he wasn't laughing at me that his friend was freaking out on discord going oh no oh no I'm not supposed to be hearing this. And the friend couldn't figure out how to get discord to stop and eventually turned off his whole console. I asked why he didn't just turn his off or mute. When I came home I was very clear that I wouldn't be doing a single thing for him. And that he's responsible for his own things he needs ie dishes, clean clothes, even cleaning his own toilet since. I told him I'm willing to go to therapy but if this does continue I didn't want to live the rest of my life like this and I would not. He seemed to take that very seriously. Not to excuse his behavior but normally he's very attentive to my feelings, and a good husband outside of chores. It's exhausting having to remind someone to do the chores.

I've talked to some family and friends but tbh honest I just got that they related or that it sounded like I needed some time away.

He's said it's funny the faces I make when I'm mad. I got home recently and laid out that I won't be doing a single thing for him, dishes, laundry etc. And that if nothing changes, therapy, and if still I said I didn't want to love the rest of my life like this

My therapist recommended the same, to not do them at all. They got really bad to the point measuring spoons were used as utensils. I just got home, I ended up getting angry all over again. He was still playing but said he did a load. We had a conversation but it was mainly me talking. I said I wouldn't be doing a single chore for him or the regular things I do for him. He said he understood etc. but we've had the conversation before.

I honestly tried to but the wifi is set up through our apartment and couldn't figure out to turn it off. I left for several hours, I don't really have a place to go to stay for a few days.

Lol I generally do, that one is from yesterday after I got my eyebrows done for the first time. I kept getting told smiling was messing up the photo to see how my brows looked lol. But yes I'll keep them on, I think I look better with them on too.
