Everything you said is me. (except the bread winning part). Mine doesn't work and has been saying now for I don't know how many years he is going to get a job. But of course, this happens, that happens, blah, blah, blah. Think he's going through mid life phase right now. But he drives me absolutely NUTS!!!!
I'm 48, been married 26 years and every day I say to myself I WOULD be better on my own. We have no kids, own no house or property and the man can't figure out what he want to do. This is not the same man I married and I don't know what happened to him. There are so many times where I wish I would just keel over just to serve him right. HA HA. I always think...if I keeled over right now that would be just fine by me because I would be with the people I love who have gone on ahead and me, then he can do all the stuff I do and it would serve him right. HA HA
One thing for definite is if anything ever happened to him I would never, and I repeat NEVER, ever ever ever marry again. And if I did I think I would choose to share my life with another woman. Men! I've had it. They don't sit and listen, they try to interject how they think you should feel. I've spent 26 years hearing "you need to think about this the way I do". At least all my woman friends understand the ups and downs going on. This man doesn't even understand the simple concept of "when I am having a PMS attack please leave me by myself". No, instead he has to pick and pick at me and push and push. Then when I get me he lays into me and tells me I need to "deal".
I think society creates a life that everyone buys into. My mom always told me you go to school, graduate, get a job, get married, have kids, have grandkids and that's the way life is suppose to be. Everything I see in the news is pushing the idea that you have to have a man to be happy. I just say "oh quite contraire" (ok, could you hear my french accent there). HA HA. I really think that to be really truly happy in life you need to learn to know yourself, know what you want in life and take care of yourself before giving yourself to someone else (whether it be the opposite or same sex).

I have a twin.
My husband still can't read my mind like that sister can, LOL.
You could be my twin
I have the EXACT same issue as you!!!! My male cat Gus has urinated on my bedroom carpet in the same area over and over. I tried the pet odor cleaner from Petco called Naturals Miracle. It's actually a skunk odor cleaner, but it really worked for us. Also, there is something else you can buy at Petco that you can spray on the area that will detract your cat from urinating in that area again; probably would be in the same section as the skunk odor cleaner. I know exactly how you feel; it's driving me nuts. He's done it in other places too and it is the most offensive odor of all. My vet told me to change his food to one for urinary health and if that doesn't work then have him tested for an infection. I don't think he has an infection; I think he is just a big ol' pain in the butt that does what he wants.
Anyway, try it out; good luck and let me know how you make out!!!!
Are you my twin Tinks? lol
All of my joints pop especially during hanky panky (blush, blush), including hips, shoulders, neck, back. It is kinda' creepy, but hubby says makes for good flexibility. LOL I pop my fingers all the time and always have even as a child. They don't look bigger, but they do stiffen up especially in the cold. I just run them under hot water, seems to help. I can make my right ankle (foot pedal ankle) pop at any given time? I'm going to wind up with my fingers all crinkled up aren't I? lol My Dad always said I was double-jointed! Is that a true condition? 
My husband has a twin!!!???
I ended up painting my room a dark olive color with burgundy curtains and heavy wood blinds. You might consider theater black out panels or black out canvas. I have seen these at wal-mart. Material are often used in hotel/motel rooms to block light. Since you don't want creeping in through edges you might consider velcro-ing panel around inside window frame so it is removable, or attaching rings to use like roman shades.
ABC distributing as some, fairly reasonable. http://www.abcdistributing.com/home/catalog/cat_item_pg.asp?G=350&P=25 If all else fails get him an eye mask.
does he have a twin; can I clone him?

You must be my twin because you just wrote
everything about me to a T!!! I've been in a quandry for quite some time about what I should do.
lol I think I found my twin!
Same philosophy in my household. Don't think it doesn't take a lot of work and a few "episodes" to prove the point. My husband and son like to play those games every once in a while but I toss them right back and now it is to the point where we don't even have to discuss it. They get the message through actions loud and clear.
My favorite is when hubs does laundry and leaves all my clothes on the corner of the bed. Hahaha! First, folding is the hardest part...second, I have no problem doing only my laundry and no one else's. What's funny is it takes him a bit to catch on, usually when he runs out of underwear! lol What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Not to mention the kids too. At the age of 9 my son started doing his own laundry. Didn't like it at the start but now its just a normal weekly thing...and the best part I don't get those "but it's not clean and I need to wear it TODAY!" :)
Oh, my gosh, it's my kitty's twin!!! sm
your cat look's just like my
Pumpkinkitty!!!
I married my twin sister's boyfriend
:)
She is gorgeous, and a twin to my niece's beautiful cat, Nina! NM

The Shining. When those twin girls show up and I'm watching it alone,

Well, I had to send my twin 3-year-olds to a school.
They are there all day long and I work all day. Paying for the daycare and making more money is about equal to when I worked at home with them in my way, only I am more sane for it and they are learning great social skills. I would really consider changing your hours and putting them in school/daycare/learning center, even if just for a few hours a day. It does help.
Like I said, I feel for you. I have twin 3-year-olds, and I swear they seem worse than when they were 2! LOL!
My MIL named her twin daughters Mary and Mary.
No lie. And now you have a pretty good picture of the kind of mother-in-law stories I can tell. And I do have MIL stories!
