PSA: If you left the pots, pans, and kitchen knives, YOU HAVE NOT DONE THE DISHES.

He also doesn’t put away “weird” stuff- like anything that he doesn’t interact with daily. We’ve lived with the same kitchen for 12 years but he’s acts like it’s a confusing Airbnb that he’s never cooked in. The funny part is that he truly thinks I don’t notice. How can a man who runs a bajillion dollar P&L be so dumb?

Both of those things go in the dishwasher...

1. No, a pot that contained only pasta water does not need to "soak" overnight.

2. The larger utensils actually DO fit in the dishwasher -- on the third top rack that has been there since we bought this dishwasher three years ago.

3. The collander goes in the same cupboard as the pots. It has always been kept there. Since we moved here in 2015. Always. Same cupboard. That one. With the pots.

4. You can put the knives in the dishwasher if you must, but honestly, it takes less than 60 seconds to wipe the blade with the sponge, rinse, and dry as you walk toward the knife drawer to put it away.

No, the one to the right. That's the knife drawer. The one with the knives in it.

Love you.

I always do the dishes but also almost always leave the heavy pots, pans, griddle etc to DH. He is so much stronger and gets all the baked on grease off much more easily than I do.

Obviously cast iron doesn't go in the dishwasher but everything else does. And no, it doesn't need to be cleaned first. Buy a good dishwasher. It'll be worth it.

I’ve always put everything in the dishwasher including my China (on the rare occasion I use it) and knives. I would do this whether married or not. I do not understand the people who wash stuff by hand.

This is so typical, had me wondering what other household tasks the OP's DH leaves incomplete.
