Why do men do what they do? For instance my husband sits around when he is not working watching sports and putting off house projects. All he would have to do is spend five minutes each day working on a project but he doesn’t. As a result there are several half finished project all around the house. I end up washing the laundry, doing the dishes, vacuuming and cleaning the majority of the house.

My complaint comes from the fact that we both work full time but he gets to relax more than I do. We do spend every evening relaxing for at least an hour. This is a time when we can sit and enjoy each other’s company.  Perhaps I should make more time to relax and enjoy my time the only problem is that our house would become a pig sty and I would lose my mind.  Is it that men have such low standards? Is it because he knows I will clean so he is taking advantage? Is his only focus entertainment?

I believe the reason for this is, most men are visually driven and more easily focus on one thing at a time. He argues that he does a lot around the house and that he needs time to relax or he will lose his mind. He also claims that he has hobbies and needs time to enjoy them. He has told me to pick up some hobbies but I have no interest. I would rather spend my time with him, doing whatever enjoying each other’s company. Because of all this I have developed a new strategy to get him to help around the house. I am refusing to clean and when it gets too messy for him he will help out. While he cleans I will sit back and relax. After words I will ask him how he enjoyed cleaning the entire house.
