Well, my husband Diego and I have been married for about one year and one half. I love my husband very much.... but I feel like he isn't doing his part in taking care of the house and stuff. You see we're only 19. But we have been dating since we were 13, so i know him really well, but I think that he could do more to pull his weight around. He never helps with Dinner, he never cleans up, all he does is study for school, which i, on top of everything out, have to do also. Im currently Attending Yale on a ful scholorship, and i can't afford to lose my scholorship, but Diego is making me so stressed out. PLease help
What can i do to get him to pull his weight around the apartment?

How about making up a rota so that you both get time off and the chores are still done? If he gets dinner, don't forget to compliment him, even if it's awful, it should get him to do it again.
You are just as entitled to study and have a career as anyone, so let him know how you feel before you start to resent him. Resentment is one of the biggest causes for marital breakdowns, so act now.
Good luck. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
