How to deal with a partner that is not paying attention to anything

In some ways he is making teeny tiny baby steps of improvement. I am also tailoring my expectations

But Why Why do I tell him over and over that I have one week of vacation for me to go and visit our rental property and do a lot of work that needs to be done. I ask him what supplies I need because I need to know how much I have to spend and we need to get the stuff ordered. I ask him daily for 2 weeks to assist me Cuz he is not working.
Then today the day before I leave to start my 12 hour drive to the property he starts whinning that I was never clear about when I was coming and that I might have waited too late to purchase the supplies to work on the house. 馃槫
But that he will produce a list for me of things he needs up there.
Trying to stay peaceful and not nag.
Why doesn't he pay attention??? Ahhhhh

Probably tuned you out asking every day.

@HannahSky Yea he tunes out a lot but I don't know how to get him to listen to just the important stuff. This is important. I don't know what stuff we need. And I travel for work and work 2 jobs I don't have time.

@REMsleep that's rough, people hate to be told over and over, have to ask him what would be better for him if you need his input.
