She's 80 for heavens sake! And he caused her to step in dog shit, again! And her husband is not accepting any responsibility for failing to do a thing he's actually required to do by law, not just out of respect and affection!

Men are infantilized until the grave, apparently. Nothing is ever their fault, and if it's clearly their fault, the worse fault is pointing it out.

She deserved it, ‘ol battle axle!

The term is “battle axe”, you misogynistic philistine. Also, you put the apostrophe in the wrong place.

He totally deserved it. I am confused by your feeling for the man? You don't think he does the same to his wife on other issues? Are you one of those that men are saints if they lift a finger? And women are shrews regardless of how haggard they are cleaning and cooking for their "men?"
Ask yourself why do you feel the need to put down a sister?

Right?! She’s probably been asking him for the last few decades to pick up the dog poop... probably his ONE chore and he doesn’t care enough to change whatever bad habit he has regarding it or even notice that it needs to be done.
It’s not about the chore. It’s about the fact that she has asked this one thing of him and it shows how little he respects her when he repeatedly does it half-heartedly or doesn’t do it at all.
And he inevitably complains when she doesn’t give him the affection he “requires” even though he’s bred her resentment when he won’t do this simplest of requests.

I love that the woman told him specifically how she was feeling using “I” statements. She could’ve just gone off on him and left it at that, but she took the time to tell him WHY his actions resulted in her getting upset. I hope her DH was able to hear it.

Clearly they’re already in therapy. And in typical fashion, the wife is trying her best to communicate in a healthy way and the husband still refuses to pick up the dog crap.

Does she not have hands?

He left it. That means he's the one that was there when there was pooping happening. If you take your dog out to shit, you pick it up. If someone yells at you for not picking up your dog's shit, that doesn't make you a victim.

that's not how I read the OP. I read it as he picked it up but didn't dispose of it where the DW wanted. If he did just leave it, that's totally on him and he is completely in the wrong. If he did pick up and just didn't dispose of it "properly", well, he married his DW and he's paying the price for her controlling behavior (and this must be just the tip of the iceberg).

How does that work with the "it being where he couldn't see it" line? He couldn't see where he set it down?

She is 80. There is a 50/50 chance she left the bag. The man hate is unreal on this board.

I did read the OP- hence the “she’s prob been asking for decades.” Do you even know any 80 year olds? Honestly asking. My in-laws are 80 and my grandmother is 85. They’re all perfectly lucid and living on their own. Don’t know why you think everyone at 80 is blind and forgetful.

Sure, if you assume that the 80 year old woman who said "you left it again" and the 80 year old man who said the reason he left it was because "he couldn't see it" are both liars, it's clearly her fault. Very logic. Much sense.

The cherry on top is that anyone believing either party is not a liar is therefore a man hater. This board never disappoints!

I’m betting he rarely does or says or cares about anything....for decades.
