Dh and I moved for my career to a place we both have wanted to live and settle down. His parents are nearby and we have a baby on the way. He is a contractor. He hasnt been able...

to find a job yet but his parents need some work done on their house for which they are willing pay pay him and our house needs some work too, ideally before baby comes. It has been a month and he has done almost nothing. I am getting really annoyed. I know he is just overwhelmed and mentally blocked because before we moved he had a job and he worked really hard at it. I don't want to nag him but I am getting frusturated. I know he is also frusturated himself. What am I supposed to do? I try talking to him about it but my anger starts to show and it isn't helpful.

morning to please go and get what he needs to properly install the dishwasher and he didn't do it. I know he IS having a hard time and is trying but wouldn't you be upset? There are a MILLION tasks like that to do in our house AND he is unemployed but essentially has a job to go to anytime he wants at his parents house. It is making me crazy
- have you told him this clearly? 1-16-2012 6:45pm
- I guess maybe not. I am going to try to relax and later tonight try to sit down and talk with him 1-16-2012 6:46pm
