Sit her down, and ask her nicely to take a different approach when asking for help! I used to nag at my husband to help me get things done. I eventually learned that when nagging at a man, it just pushes them away. They soon begin to just tune you out. Make her a promise that if she takes a different approach such as, calmly naming off the few things that need to be done that week. You will make your best effort to get them all done. Then you must do so. Just remember it's a lot better then going back to her nagging at you all of the time. It will get better..:)

Well.....you could just do what she says. That normally chills women out.
You could get all smart, ask her to label everything and draw little maps so you know where to put everything.....it's fun.
Or you could always talk to her. Explain that it's your house too, both of you live there...not just her. Explain that she is not in charge of the household, it's a joint 50/50 split.
Once she gets over that(good luck). You will both have to sit down and decide where you want to put every single thing in the house. It will be a long list. She has her idea of a 'perfect house' and the way things 'have' to be......you probably don't care very much. But don't agree to any of her crazy stuff, she has to give up a lot for this to work....but you do too.

I see her point of view. We get tired of picking up after everyone else in the house hold. Don't leave your stuff laying around. If you use something put it back in its place. You will see how much less we nag. Take some consideration towards us!

After 40 years. I just remind myself to keep picking up and cleaning up myself. And ask if you can help her out when she doing something around your home.

To chill her out...why don't you just do as she wants you to do. It's the simple. Is cleaning up after yourself really going to kill you. *SHEESH*

Putting things away is not stupid. Picking after you is a never ending job. So please pick up and clean up after yourself. Please her and she will be cooperative in the sex department.....get it?
