" My boyfriend and I live together, and he&amp;#039;s a sweet guy. But when I ask him to do, say, the laundry, he&amp;#039;ll be like &amp;quot;No problem,&amp;quot; and then never do it. I&amp;#039;ll ask again, and he&amp;#039;ll say, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll get to it.&amp;quot; After a few days, I just do it myself. What&amp;#039;s his problem? Look, you might not think you&amp;#039;re being annoying, but reminding a guy to do something over and over qualifies as nagging. The way he sees it, you&amp;#039;re trying to tell him what to do. He already has a boss at work; he doesn&amp;#039;t want one at home. So to prove a point, the more you remind him to do something, the less likely he is to get it done. It&amp;#039;s a passive-aggressive move. Your guy&amp;#039;s sending a message: Get off my case, woman! So how do you get the laundry done? First of all, don&amp;#039;t just give up and do it yourself. That makes you an enabler: He can continue his bad behavior because he knows that you&amp;#039;ll get fed up and do his job for him. Instead, pipe down and let his laundry pile up. When he gets tired of wearing the same stinky underwear for three days, he&amp;#039;ll realize he has no choice but finally to do a load! Also, try not to spring requests on him randomly. Better to come up with tasks together beforehand, like figuring out who&amp;#039;s going to do the laundry that week and who will do the dishes. That way, there&amp;#039;s no ambiguity and no one telling the other what to do. If he continues to be a lazy pain in the ass though, tell him you want to hire someone to come in once a week to do the cleaning, and ask if he could pay half. The hit to his wallet may encourage him to shape up. If not? Well, at least you&amp;#039;ll have a clean house. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
