Yeah, they can suck sometimes.

Remember, they are from Mars -- perhaps if you gave him a SPECIFIC need to meet (like once I told mine that I wanted him to come into our bedroom for 20 minutes with me every night when he got home before hanging out with the teenagers or watching tv or anything, that I needed some direct attention right away). Like ask if he can take the baby for 30 minutes right when he gets home, or if he can spend 15 minutes picking up around the house, and tell him how much pressure it would take off of you to have that. We forget, because this seems so obvious to us (and they seem like dummies), but they really can't figure out the problems/solutions from the emotions that we run on, even though it makes perfect sense to us. Because it's totally logical, of course. They're just oblivious.
