Need some help with feelings

My better half is a recovering alcolholic and spent the last several months very sick due to drinking.  for several years.  I have had to endure his anger and depression which led to his drinking.  Don't get me wrong I love him very much but I have had feelings lately that bother me.  I do EVERYTHING in and around the house, work full time, pay bills, mow lawn, housework, cook, shop, literally everything.  I know since he was in the hospital and sick for well over a month he could not help but now he can pitch in.  For years due to being drunk daily, his has been NO help, but lately all I think about is this issue.  He has turned things around, health is improving and he is sober now for almost 3 months.  I am proud of him.  I guess I feel bad feeling this way.  I seems to not have a minute break.  I am still doing all the work and he has not worked since Sept.  I bring up him trying to help a bit, like empty dishwasher, change his own sheets, or help do something, but its not helping him to do anything.  What do you suggest???

I'm really sorry that you feel taken for granted.

And you are doing everything.

It's great he is feeling better and sober.

Your feelings matter too though.

Ultimately an honest conversation has be to had, explaining that you need him to try harder 💖
