I have such a good husband
Neal has become quite handy with the crockpot and has been cooking 90%
of our meals in recent weeks. He also does most of the housework now
and has recently even begun doing the laundry, too. This is great
because I've been working a lot more (30+ hours/week, typically) in
addition to full-time graduate school and I just can't handle coming
home to a third shift of housework on top of all that.
Stop doing the housework you want your husbands to do. Just stop.
Stick to your guns until he gives in. Yes, things will get messy for
a while, but you just have to outlast him. Then, when he finally gets
grossed out and starts cleaning, be sure to ... reward ... him, with
enthusiasm. ;)

My house is full of incorrectly assembled particle board furniture
I am sitting at a desk with an upside-down base, next to a bookcase with an upside-down bottom shelf. Apparently both my husband and brother fail at screwing parts in right side up. Sad. I thought that men were supposed to be good at building things?
Although objects in the physical world usually give me trouble (e.g. driving poorly, dropping stuff, bumping into things, etc.), I seem to have developed a talent for assembling cheap particle board furniture. I suppose when you own as many books as I do and have moved as many times as I have, you eventually get pretty good at building bookcases. :)Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Neal and I are doing the late night-before-the-exam cram for Cost Accounting together
Our study styles are pretty dissimilar, though. He's still trying to
actually learn stuff, whereas 2+ years at UNLV have broken my spirit
and now I just jump through hoops to get grades, which requires
significantly less effort.
strategies. :) In my experience, I can always (re)learn whatever I
need on the job later, when I actually need it, as long as I know that
the topic exists to be learned.
