text: Don't nag him. Nagging just makes them more stubborn. Rather show appreciation for what he DOES do. Compliment his efforts and it will build his self-esteem and make him feel appreciated. Think of something that you can compliment him for if he does nothing. Reward him for his efforts. Give him good sex for doing something around the house and let him know that it's because of that. This might encourage him to do more things for you. ;)
