Yep - that says it all. If it helps any I think most couples go through things like this - really annoying habits that make the spouse just want to scream.
In my case it is my husband always saying he'll fix this or do that and then never would get around to it. I worried too over what would happen when we adopted - would he "not get around to it yet" changing diapers and such.
Good news is my DH really became a better person and stood up to the challenge of raising a child like I never thought he would. I discovered someone I didn't know.
While he still does some crazy, annoying things, he never puts off anything that could hurt our child (i.e., plugs in the outlets) and the other things (i.e., window blinds) I just pay someone to do. He also has exhibited a personality I never knew with our child. He is very careful where our son is involved.
I think we have to realize that there are SOME things they will never change and learn to deal with those ourselves - and other ways that you will probably be amazed at when ababy gets here.
I do know it is not worth the same fight over and over, year after year - those are things that probably won't change - except as in my case anything which the baby needed him to change for he did. I was truly amazed. The other things I refuse to keep fighting about and just accept that he will always just be that way.
Also remember that there are probably some things you do that drive him just as crazy. Maybe you could start a conversation by asking him about those before going into his - and try and reach a compromise.
Again, well said - Ahhh, men! You can't live with 'em....you can't live without 'em!!!!!
Good luck!
