My husband is so stupid and I can't deal with him anymore. Any advice? He doesn't know how to do laundry, cook or clean dishes properly. Even can't mow the lawn properly, we get warnings from HOA....

you probably married him knowing all these things... you can't expect people to change

Going to be the minority here, but I’m going to say what I think you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear. You swore a sacred vow to this person, to love him in sickness, health, stupidity, and all of the above. Those were your words, your vow. You should honor that and aim to fix the relationship rather than call it quits.

You should have an honest talk with your husband and potentially go to couple’s counseling. I wouldn’t throw your husband out the door for being imperfect. We all are, albeit to differing degrees - but all imperfect nonetheless. If everybody broke their commitments when the times got tough, nobody would commit to one another. What a sad world that would be.

Have you guys gone to couples therapy?

Try talking to him. I’m sure you have before, but try to do it without arguing. If after he sees how serious you are about needing a change in life style, he doesn’t at least do his best to change... then, you will know what needs to be done.

There’s THERAPY, MAIDS, and as far as more money- girlllll 🙄

Does he go “to town”?

Get a cleaning person and a gardener. Boum problems solved 🤣

So my brother doesn't talk to me for 6 months.   (I had offered my lake house guest space to my cousin who said yes instead of my brother who didn't know if he could come nor when he might know if he could come, how unfair of me).

On Thanksgiving day mom arrives and tells me that brother might come by in an hour.  He had ignored my invite weeks ago.  (Uh ok, sure).

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class).
