I feel bad about my last post as it sounds alot worse than it was supposed to!

He doesnt do it bad on purpose, I am just picky, and he DID clean the whole bathroom the other day... lol I think I have just lived away from home for longer and am more used to tidying.

I do love him to bits

They nearly bankrupted me twice, I lost my house and business . I have grossed more than half a million pounds in past 10 years and its all gone

We knew someone like that his family were wealthy anyway, then he won the pools cannot remember how much but poss 1/4 million. He did it with someone else but they packed in a couple of weeks before his win, but he gave them half anyway.

He moved away and we did not see him for a time, one day as we were going back to out Guest House in St Ives we bumped into him and found he lived about 50 yards away, anyway to cut a long story short he met and married a woman with a daughter, paid for the daughter to go to private school, she wanted a cafe, he bought her one, she wanted a house, he bought her one, she bled him dry and then left him.

I think there are some very mercinary people around . It amazes me how ruthless and calculating people can be sometimes. They are very clever too . I'm a simple kinda guy wysiwyg with me .

but I must be infuriating to live with I guess

I agree with Em, it is the other way around here, when I ask him to do something or he happens to do it he doesnt do it right so I end up doing it. It does get on my nerves doing alot of the housework though, especially as I ALWAYS do the litter trays and thats my least fave job!!

Ela you got a rock there gal you very lucky and appreciate it . Many do not .

My ex I supported her and her idle son for last 10 years. They nearly bankrupted me twice, I lost my house and business . I have grossed more than half a million pounds in past 10 years and its all gone

They never paid for anything and I still did all the shopping cooking cleaning fixing everthing including her cars and 4x4

No I'm not bitter cos life still goes on and we still friends lol Besides I got my cats and I can count myself luckier than most.

I suspect your oh doesn't work Ela

He wishes, he has his own motorcycle training business.

Janeyk · « **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2006, 17:20:59 PM »

mm depends whose at home - I suspect your oh doesn't work Ela? I'm at home (but studying) I do and have always done everything even when I worked, no tell a lie Steve cuts lawn and I do rest of gardening and we both decorate. I've tried occasionally leaving things but doesn't work - he wouldn't even notice (or pretend he didn't). He does do other stuff though if I say call at shop on way home and things like that.

Back to cat - no definitely be cat, no man would come between me and my cat!!no way.

Wow can you come round and tell Phil how to do all that please

To get your partners to help more (those that won't unlike billy baggys' dad) you need to do it, but do it badly e.g. if you are cleaning windows, smear them, if you hoover (why do I say hoover when that is just a make I should say vacuum), miss bits and then they say let me have a go and the rest is history.

Tried that and ended up with the messiest house in history. He just looked confused when I said anything and said "looks ok to me"He also collects anything and everything, so the house is full of rubbish. did get a skip

:sneaky:when he was working a way, but too soft

So most of it stayed, but bless his little cotton socks he loves the cats to pieces so he can stay

Shame, that mostly doesn't work with my OH - it's the other way round. I end up being lumbered with most of the DIY, cat maintenance, vet trips, car fixing... not that I wear the trousers, it's just that I'm more patient with fiddly things and dirty things and I have marginally more time... on the plus side, she does more ironing and gardening

The rest is a fairly even split depending on who's the nominated grownup

Sounds like you picked a good'un there Ela! Suspect there aren't many chappies around like that...

Ela · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2006, 11:39:49 AM »

I think I need to clarify when I said

to the husband it was because he did not like the cat, it was not about men in general. I know I could not do without mine all I have to do is wash and Iron (although my daughter usually irons, I hate it) I have only ironed twice this year and one of those times is now in between coming on here) he does everything else, including seeing to all the cat trays as soon as he gets up and before he goes to bed. I just have to sort them out in the day if he is not in. In fact he has just shouted upstairs do you want me to prepare anything for your lunch, yippee. I have known him 42 yrs and I can count the number of times he has been to the doctors on one hand, he never moans (unlike me) when he is ill and always says as long as my legs carry me I am fine.

Em · « **Reply #12 on:** December 15, 2006, 11:32:38 AM »

Guess you all have a point, I'll go and get me combat trousers and drill...

... now, where can I keep a ickle cat where the OH won't notice...? hmmm....

shecat · « **Reply #11 on:** December 15, 2006, 11:14:03 AM »

ChrisB · « **Reply #8 on:** December 14, 2006, 19:30:55 PM »

Em, you are seriously thinking that a man would finish off all those odd jobs ? No, another vote for the cat from me.

Em · « **Reply #7 on:** December 14, 2006, 15:47:24 PM »

Ditto, Rebecca.. but haven't got room for another puss, especially having just brought home a dog..

and I have got lots of odd jobs to finish off ... hmm.....

Beccles · « **Reply #6 on:** December 14, 2006, 15:32:05 PM »

Well I don't go for blokes so that's an emphatic 4-0 to the cat.

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #5 on:** December 14, 2006, 15:28:18 PM »

So that's 3-0 to the cat some far.

Ela · « **Reply #4 on:** December 14, 2006, 15:23:49 PM »
