    I have a hard time asking people for help when I want it (and even when I need it). Then later feel angry/hurt/disappointed when no one helped me or offered to help me. (Example: I'm working on painting the trim and doors in a house we recently moved into....my husband, brother, and 2 children just walk around / over me and never help or offer to help.)

    Sounds a little passive aggressive to me but who am I to judge. I'm nobody.

    Ask for what you want, men can't take hints. Subtle hints don't work, strong hints don't work, obvious hints don't work. In fact, don't even ask, just TELL him what you want.

    Yeah, but if her husband is like mine, you will tell him what you want and then get to hear him b**ch about doing it so sometimes it's better just to do it yourself unless you're looking to hear the whining.

    Punch him in the throat B) lol

    I like you're way of thinking. LOL

    lol, no but in all honesty, even if they whine and complain, too bad. Get it done dude. I'll take care of you later. It's better then ME whining and complaining that I get no help when I haven't even asked for any. Of course I should NOT have to ask but whatever works. Oh and wear earplugs block his whineyass out. :p

    My wife cleans the upstairs. I clean the downstairs. My wife is OCD. Notices anything out of place. So, sometimes when I don't feel like a thorough cleaning, I'll pull a chair a little out of place where the vacuum plugs in. When she sees the chair out of place (and moves it back) she assumes I vacuumed.

    But she doesn't notice the lack of vacuum tracks?

    I still vacuum, just not as thoroughly as she does. I make sure I get right in front of the couch and places she will see, but I don't go in the weight room or on the other side of the pool table.

    Maybe that's why I'm single, because my opinion should matter. Maybe I'm just naïve.

    EXACTLY!

    The way I think about it is...I don't want anyone to do anything for me that they don't want to do so if I have to ask and hear you fuss I'd rather just do it myself. That's just me though. I want someone to do something for me because they want to, not because they feel like they have to.
