ice queen: I know how you feel...mine will do stuff if I tell or ask him too, but for crying out loud, why should I have to. If he sees something that's not where it belongs (like on the floor) why can't he just pick it up. Drives me nuts. He's the type also that if he did pick it up he would just throw it in his closet. It's not really fixing the problem, just moving it.
I've always heard that people who are not alike have good marriages, but that is definitely not what is happening here.
