Dear JustUs,
My husband and I married rather late in life, in our early forties. He lived at home caring for his parents before our marriage. I work in health care and my husband works in the insurance industry. I put in a ten-hour day five days a week. Then I come home to all the house work and meal preparation. We live in his parents old home and it is a big one. He does nothing towards upkeep except yard work and maintaining the cars. I have had long talks and big arguments with him. Nothing works. His selfishness is driving a big wedge into our marriage. What should I do?

Catherine,
Some people just don't get it the simple way, with an explanation. You gotta start setting examples like leaving certain things undone on purpose to show him how exhausting it is to do on a daily bases. In other words, you gotta get a little selfish. It will drive you crazy for a second but it will also drive your point home. Your joy will come from his discomfort. We all are creatures of habits, so you must simply break his bad habits. It's a pity that you gotta treat some people like kids but it works because you got him spoiled . You shouldn't be shock because you helped him create or continue these bad habits once you and he began sharing the same home. so it's you that must him break them. Pray first and give God the glory. His behavior has nothing to do with how late y'all got married in life. You are still young.
