Hello anshumanbardhan, Tell me first about something. Is your spouse pregnant? i don't know but if she is, then she might have been feeling lazy because of this. I am a housewife but i am not lazy , i do like to do my household chores, sometimes when my hubby sees me finished washing clothes, he does cook for me so that i won't be feeling too tired. I don't have any problems regarding giving my husband what he needs because i need it too as far as I'm concerned. We work together and aim for one goal. We do talk a lot and as we know communication is very important in a relationship. He knows me well that if i pout or i am quiet, he will start asking if he did something wrong. You see, you need to know more about your spouse. I think you should ask her why is she like this, is she feeling sick? or is there something wrong that makes her feel like this. Are you happy with your relationship now?

No she is not pregnant, although she suffers from a form of thyroid which may have some relation to her being lazy. I help her out whenever she is ill or there is more work load, we also have servants. But its kind of her taken for granted attitude, like running away from work and only doing work for which I have told her. Due to all this I get angry on her which makes things worse I have talked to her many times but there is no change

My boyfriend and I used to live together, but not anymore, when we were living together we used to argue every single day over everything. He's not lazy, like every time he goes out he asks me if I want anything from the store. Or if he was at home he would help me out with house chores. The problem was, I would start cleaning the house and ask him if he could do the dishes, and he would say yeah I'm going, then an hour later he was still on the couch, then I would get mad and go do the dishes my self, then he would come running saying no, I'm gonna do it. Or if I asked him to take the trash out, the same thing would happen he said ok, I'm going, but wouldn't get up and do it, then when I went to do it, he comes running, saying he was gonna do it. I used to get mad because he never did the things I asked him to do at the time I asked, only when he seen that I was mad and doing it myself. Oh and I never control my anger, I always let him know how mad I was.

The only thing my fiance isn't lazy about is the bedroom.... and he gets mad at me when I'm not interested because I'm to tired from taking care of the 5 other people in the house. He even tried to talk me into 'playing' when I was sick as a dog.
