Does anyone else feel their wedding planning process is one-sided?

I have never been "one of the girls" who dreamed of my wedding day growing up, but I have jumped head first into this planning process and feel like I'm taking on the bulk of the work. My FH is involved in the decision making process for 99% of the vendors we've chosen, but he has done no legwork as far as researching or contacting vendors. I suppose you could say it's my fault for taking charge but he hasn't offered to lighten the load either. I've decided to delegate a task to him and put him 100% in charge or contacting and choosing a DJ. It's clearly something he cares about more than I do and it will help me out having one less thing on my plate.

My question is, is anyone else having this same problem? Is getting your FH to help planning like pulling teeth? Or are you a control freak like I am and you're just now realizing you should start utilizing his help? Should I insist he becomes more involved or will that just push him away?

    I choose and schedule everything. He does what he is told. Trust me, it's easier this way and keeps the peace. No nagging from me if he got something done, he doesn't stress about getting stuff done because he's not a natural "doer" when it's not related to work.

    I get a little bummed when FH isn't as enthusiastic as me about planning, but I'd so much rather have that than an FH is is super opinionated and a total control freak about every aspect of the wedding. I'd rather he leave that to me lol
