Help?
My long time spouse;
Left the stove on after cooking today. Again.
Left the gas fireplace running all last night set at 74f.
Recently ignored or did not see a large puddle of dog urine in the hall for a week.
Will not make a note of a 10year old wifi password.
Will NEVER turn off a light except in the bedroom at night
Has trouble closing the outside door fully in winter.
Will never open the bathroom window after a steamy shower.
I have never seem him wash a piece of fruit or veggies.
Leaves the fridge door handle smeared and chunky.
This is not an unintelligent person.
How do others successfully deal with a partner like this?
