We pretty much divide it up that I take care of the inside of the house (cleaning, decorating, cooking) and he takes care of everything outside (yard, cars, house upkeep/repairs). This has worked for use and he does help me in the house when life gets busy.

I didn't get from your post that your husband just wouldn't help - if that was the case, I would suggest you speak to him about it. It drives me nuts when something is bothering my dh and he expects me to read his mind.
