When a man fails to help out around the house, his poor performance might be related to a subconscious tendency to resist doing anything his wife wants, a new study suggests.

Many women feel empowered to demand everything of their husband. Sometimes this results in divorce, sometimes it results in them getting ignored. Sometimes both. Sometimes men will leave them to be with someone who doesnt nag the life out of them, and end up getting nagged to death by the person they left for.
lol, I figured out the answer.
Ask THEM to do something in return. Seriously, treat them the same way they treat you. It works wonders.

Great excuse! But utterly ridiculous!
"Honey...stop asking me to help around the house, I'm hardwired to subconsciously resist doing anything you want me to".... Husband's face >>>>>>
Wife's face >>>>>>
Wife's response: "Oh, that's funny, because I saw on Oprah today that women have a subconscious tendency to stop cooking for lazy men and wear LONG nightgowns to bed." Wife's face >>>>>>
Husband's face >>>>>>
Husband's response: "I was just kidding honey. I don't believe that crap either. Want me to dry the dishes?". Husband's face >>>>>>
Wife's response: "Thanks honey. Shall I wear the negligee you bought me tonight?"

That's soooooo funny.
Obviously depends on the people involved but I always found getting help is easier by making lists. Men usually like to keep things simple and they don't want to have to think about all that house stuff. If you make a list they can just follow it also brings a sense of accomplishment as things are checked off. Also then they don't have to HEAR you nag about it. Kinda like a child.
heehee, had to throw that in there guys, don't get worked up about it.

I'm not sure that's totally accurate but I'll say this. I know there are times when I selectively tune out my wife. I hear sounds and see her lips moving but really don't hear a word she's saying. After she's done I think my mind automatically kicks back in when there is silence. It's usually at that precise moment that I get in trouble. That's usually when she says okay, and I blindly reply okay. More times than not it was about something that will eventually cost me money Do you think she knows when I'm tunning her out?
"LONG" nightgown???? I thought that we were supposed to wear those footed flannel ones The ones that zip you up tight in your own personal little blanket And NOT the ones w/ the flap in the backend either don't want no drafts.
Yep, I believe that men do tune women out sometimes. I swear I can recite exactly when and where I told mine something and he can't remember a thing. LOL!!! I'll even recite back to him word for word what he said during the mystery conversation. HA!!!! GOTCHA!
