Maybe men are all like this, I dont know but let me know what you think.
I work full time during the week in an office from 8.30 until 5.30 and on Saturday nights I work in a Residential home on the night shift 10pm until 8am. During the week I try to keep up with the house work and try to cook proper meals for me and the O/H who comes home from work watches telly eats his dinner and falls alseep infront of the telly by 8.30pm. On the weekends I try to get him to help out with things but he always makes an excuse that he's got something more important to do outside usually DIY or mowing the lawn or washing the car, which is fine as they all need doing but he doesn't actually get round to doing them lol, so it leaves me doing all the housework and him parked on the sofa or infront of the computer apparently just about to get on and do something which never happens. I wouldn't mind so much but when I get home from a night shift on a sunday morning, he instantly expects us to either take the dogs on an all day walk, wait up for the shopping to be delivered or have his family round, on the odd occassion that I do manage to go straight to bed he wakes me up pretty much every hour to tell me the time and make a point about me sleeping to much and it being lazy! Lol
Now I love him sooooo much, there's no question about that, im not trying to say that this makes him a bad boyfriend as he's not, he is an amazing person and he does make me so happy, he's my man and I dont wanna change him! but am I being silly expecting to help out just a little bit more?
Just wondered wot you ladies think as maybe im am or maybe im not, im no expert on men at all as he is the first man I have lived with apart from my Dad and Brother, we have been together 3 &1/2 years and lived together for 1 year.
