Lazy Husband!

Call ur girl friends over, he will be embarassed to be not doing anything and taking leave to watch football then.don't hassle him about it just write down the list of chores he needs to do and give it to him.husbands work better with clear written instructions than nagging. and if he does not do those chores do not give in and do them urself. All the best.

 

My hubby helps me with chores and is certainly not lazy but did have a pot belly. I tried all tricks in the book for him exercise. In the end I lost weight and got into an amazing shape and when someone asked him if I was his daughter he got to work laugh1smiley
Men as they age and don't exercise become lethargic and then they want to take it easy. Its a vicious cycle. Break it. Talk to him about how his habits are harmful to his heart health. Take the saffola heart age quiz together , do something fun, and get him off the couch.
World cup just bear with it. All the men I know stay awake at night to watch the matches and some even put alarms to watch the late night ones and sleep for 2 hrs in between matches. Don't nag him let him enjoy. World cup doesn't come every month.

 

OP I can totally get you my dh helps with chores but was fat and had a pot belly (the bane of indian men). I told him I will join him for morning walks and exercise. That motivated him to exercise. That way we both get exercise and time to spend with each other. Now we both look forward to it.

 

A similar thing happened to me as well. I started going to the gym even though I didn't need to, hoping that DH would join me as well. But he didn't. In the end I became skinnier and gave up. :rantI wish somebody had made a similar comment to him doh1

Now that I am preggers and have a nice round tummy like him, he's very happy shakehead

Denni,
I make mine walk to the grocery store and back, clean the house (involves upstairs downstairs bending etc), infact anything to get him off the sofa. (Some day I think I'll get frustrated and sell the TV and the sofa :bangcomp

 

I too was like this not this much but now i changed a lot ..

 

Haaa... My lazy husband...

He would watch TV 27/7, the same Hollywood movies. Cricket/football matches, and then highlights of the previous match.
Sometimes he will sit in the sofa, and sleep without knowing what's running in the TV. Sometimes I had to wake up in the middle of the night to switch off the TV.

He wouldn't mind if heavy thunder or lightning outside, but he still watch TV for not-so-interesting matters.

He put the AC on and forget to off it while leaving the room. Same goes with ceiling fans.

Sometimes he stays without shaving, that obviously shows his age (he is 35 btw, but looks older with some salt and pepper hair if he doesn't shave/colour his hair). He doesn't mind of anything. Just watch TV and stay lazy.

The laziness reached its highest when he decided to take unauthorized leaves for a couple of days, and stayed indoor for nothing. He woke up late coz slept so late. Thus went late to the office, felt asleep there, and lost his eagerness to work hard. End result was he lost his jobs repeatedly. He had no shame, but felt good to sleep more and relax at home.

He turned to be so lazy only a few yrs after marriage, and never before. That's irked me.

I had to work so hard to get him straight, give him a reality check to bring him as a normal person. He has changed almost 75% now. I must thank to my little son, who always nagged him to get up, take him to school and do the remaining needful. He only listens to his son.. So it worked for me.

 

My husband should post in this thread. He is the fit and raring to go kinds while I am the deliciously plump lazy one.:hide:

 

Hey Dear,

My hubby is too kinda lazy only. I always think how come MIL raised him like this????

Same movie over and over again............. I am also going through this. He s fond of gaming and can play till 1 at night. But now a days due to work load in office,he sleeps soon and even happens to go for work during weekends too.:spin

I feel sad for him working all days without break but when I think how useless he spends his weekend I get irritated. We have to blame the office culture for this actually. Full day we are made to sit in the office and at times, we are so hooked to work that we postpone nature s call and drinking water too...
This is what makes us glued to the seat.... :bang
