Husband's attitude of women/not helping/boss

Jesus please change my attitude of my husband he has a horrible view of women and I have put up with too much for too long and tired of being stuck because of my son and admitting another failed relationship. He used to help with yardwork and other repairs, etc...I have more than done my part and helped him for 15 years now and I am tired of not getting anything in return, constantly worrying and constantly being demeaned...he has no right to talk to me the way that he does. Now he has taken to faking injuries so he doesn't have to do any yardwork and the grass is six inches tall. I don't have the physical strength to cut the grass and I shouldn't have to. I have to work, pay the bills and do everything else. We also need the air conditioners put in right now because it is hot in the house and every day it is another excuse. Please make him at least do what he used to do. It has become unbearable to be around him. Please also make my boss stop his micro-managing and ridiculous expectations too. I cannot handle him plus my husband, it is too much. Thank you Jesus, Amen.
 
For your own sanity, you need to stop enabling your husband. Which simply means stop doing for him what he is supposed to be doing. Which means if it is his job to cut the grass and he doesn't have a legitimate reason to not be able to do so then if it gets three feet tall or if you get a fine for not cutting it then so be it. Let him have the consequences of his failure to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband. He probably already knows and is counting on you stepping in and doing it so he doesn't have to. He is basically doing what he knows he can get away with.

I don't understand the other stuff such as paying the bills. Isn't he the main breadwinner? If not then what does he do with himself all day? Stop picking up the pieces and let him be forced to either step up to the plate and be a husband or else perhaps he needs to go because he is not acting like much of a husband.

It also is quite obvious based on what you are saying and his behavior that he has little if any respect for you. That is not good. You need to teach him that you are setting boundaries and that things are going to change and be different from now on because you are no longer willing to enable his irresponsible and disrespectful behavior. If you do all this expect him to get worse in order to test your boundaries but just stick to it and he will have to decide how he is going to respond to your new boundaries.

My attitude is not what it should be right now, and i need your prayers. I do not want to be this way. I know God is not happy with me as of now. It is so hard to be positive about some things going on in my family, when all i see is negative things happening in their life. They do not seem to...
