than he fixes it. I know I am lucky to have such a talented husband who can do things, but after 35 years I would like to decorate not have unfinished floors, no floors, no place for towels, clothes, walls torn down, windows half in. I ask nothing of him as far as helping with housework. I just wish he would see what has to be done and finish something. How do I take pride in my home when I can't find anything and nothing has a place. I am getting older and I know I won't be able to stand this much longer. Love him, bu t...

Maybe ask him to do one chore and do it with him... he might be overwhelmed but would never admitt it... Example: Honey, let's go to Lowes and pick out some towel racks.. then you can show me how to install them.... sometimes that kicks it into gear... if your husband begins to see that you might be capable to finish some of these chores one of two things could happen... he'ld begin finishing them or you'll do them either way you'll get what you want.... a house that is more pieced together

The only thing i can suggest is take him to one room, ask him what he needs to finish this room, tell him you are going to the store to purchase what is needed and when you get home you will help him finish it. Then explain to him that one room at a time, the house is going to get finished. Don't let him start another project until the room he is working on is finished.
good luck, sounds like you need more than luck

What type of love relationship do you have with your husband? Is your Love an imposing type of love or an unconditional type of love?When you impose on a man, he gets mad and do not carry his duties as schedule. Be humble in approaching your husband and also assist in the daily activities except that you are pregnant, you should help him to finish the job. After all you are two and one can help the other to accomplish the job.Nana

His mind is working faster than his body can go. You will have to put your foot down about finishing the jobs he has started.

haha
my husband tells me that I am not to start another room until I have finished the one that is already torn up, or he will move out.
Guess he put his foot down, eh?

if you are familiar with the tools that is used for a particular job, then this might help. try hiding the tools other than the ones he is using for the present job. ^_^
