OP here. How did we get from this one TP incident to me (or any other PP’s) keeping tabs on EVERY TINY DAY TO DAY INTERACTION? |
But we're bored and want to know what happens next! |
Adults don't come on anonymous forums to gloat about how great they think they are for passive-aggressively "teaching" another adult a supposed lesson. |
Scary capitals! You know you do it in your head, OP. Eventually he'll decide HE needs to teach YOU a lesson about something you do that's irksome. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you're perfect and definitely never irksome! |
Sure they do! I am an adult and I am OP. But it was not a gloat - I was looking for support from like minded people. And I found plenty. Thanks DCUM! Always here in my time of need. |
Happy to let you know when that happens! And I’ll be the first to admit I’m far from perfect. |
| Put a huge costco pallet of TP down there right outside the door. |
Because while there's an obvious planning hang-up about this issue, it's easily resolved (keep a multipack of TP in that bathroom). Instead, you've framed it as a personal travail and your response as a step for women's empowerment. Perhaps you're under the impression you have no quirks that your DH likely puts up with silently (and therefore, much more kindly). |
It’s funny you say that. I get all our TP from Costco and just last week got a box of 96 rolls. Haven’t unpacked it yet. I’m loving this idea… |
I see what you did there
|
Look, if an adult can’t manage their toileting, they need to go back into diapers. I don’t want to think about, hear about, see, or smell the evidence of my husband’s bowel movements. Luckily he is an adult and I never do. OP’s husband, OTOH, is like a toddler. “I made poo poo in the bowl!” He wants Mommy to come running and give him a cookie, in the form of toilet paper. |
Passive aggressive? There was nothing indirect about saying no to her DH. I think that you mean natural consequences. |

My wife does this with glasses. She leaves half full water glasses all over the house and then complains that there aren't any clean ones.
About once a week I take her car keys and hide them. When she asks if I've seen them I tell her she can have them back when she collects all the glasses and puts them in the dishwasher, after she pours all the water into the dog bowl. I don't want it going to waste. Celebrated 18 years in May. |
Maybe YOU celebrated. Your DW, however, may be contemplating why she's wasted most of her adult life being controlled and treated like an errant child by her supposed equal partner in life. |
Did you "celebrate" tho? Those of you who assume the worst intentions are exhausting. I have ADHD and I can't imagine being married to somebody who expected perfection all the time. I don't expect it of my non-ADHD DH and he doesn't expect it from me. OP could have used this as an opportunity to tease her DH, or bribe him for something fun if she brings the paper. Her DH isn't doing it because he is a jerk, he legitimately forgets and I'm sure feels bad about himself every time he does because she nags him. Relax, people. Go with grace and love. |
