For some reason these past couple weeks he's almost regressed to some weird childlike state. He's acting like a 12 year old and it's starting to piss me off. We're both supposed to be working remotely but he's hardly done anything.
Instead, he spends the day binge eating junk food that he stockpiles anew every day or two (we're talking literally a dozen bags worth of chips, cookies, candy, soda, however much crap he can haul from the bodega across the street). I'm really, really scared he'll hit 400 pounds by the time this is all over. The weight has been piling on ever since we got married a couple years ago, he will give no reasonable explanation, now with nothing to do all day he takes it as a free pass to eat garbage nonstop.
He won't clean up after himself either. Usually he just lets his trash sit wherever it may and then it's my job to get rid of it. This has now only gotten worse because of how much he eats. I'm so tired of picking up empty bags and bottles because he can't be bothered to throw them out once he finishes something. He'll always "do it in a bit," or "was about to do it, chill the fuck out!" (Yes he's also gotten constantly snappy at me sometimes yelling even when I take care to be calm and polite.) I get being cooped up is annoying, but why does that mean we have to live in a dumpster? Why is he okay with that? It takes 5 seconds to bring something to the kitchen trash, our apartment is only 3 rooms. Oh and when I asked him to clean up our bedroom, I came back a few minutes later to find him just throwing all the trash out the window! Is it lazyness or what?
He has also been "trolling" online where he'll try to spread bullshit he made up himself. He posted that cops are arresting and shooting people they think are infected. The virus is now getting passed between people and pets. Grocery stores will be shut down next week and the entire national supply of toilet paper is almost out. Hospitals have orders not to bother treating anyone over age 70. On and on. Whenever someone calls him out he pretends to have jobs in government, etc that give him this inside information. As soon as I caught on to him doing this, he went and made a new twitter account to keep me from knowing what he's posting. He still laughs about it, and is overall really distracting to me when I'm trying to work.
So yeah, that's how he spends most of his time. There's more but those are the main things.
Is anyone else struggling with this? How do I get him to be an adult again?
TL;DR: Husband doesn't put in any effort to himself, his work or the household ever since quarantine started.
