For real. My husband did this, and is now dead. I am glad I didn't waste time complaining about it on a public forum! |
PP--he is not dead as a result of doing this, btw.

It's not hard. Just not necessary. DH or I will load the dishwasher when it's ready to be loaded. Until then it can sit on the counter. |
Im sorry for your loss. However, one of us will die at some point. Does this mean no one should ever vent about stuff? I had many pregnancy losses, so no one ever gets to complain about where their kids leave their dishes? |
| I wonder what little things you all do that drive your DH nuts? Probably nothing... |
| I taught my teens how to the load the dishwasher and do laundry. They are far from perfect they but are learning. I had a roomate in college who never cooked or knew about laundry. It was absurd. |
You sound like a bitch. |
I pity your spouse. |
I'm sorry for your loss. I can completely see myself being sad and upset over these little nuisances that annoy me now. (Not OP here.) Thats why I don't bitch much about them. I hate when my fiancé puts his socks and underwear in the laundry inside out. It adds extra time to the laundry. But it's not such a huge inconvenience, I don't get worked up over it. If somethnging were to happen to him, I know I'd miss those stupid inside-out socks. A lot. |
That is so gross. |
| This is exactly what DW does - I've been able to change the kids' habit so at least it's a partial victory in our house. Even though DW is slob, I just remind myself, when my OCD tries to kick in, how much I love her and force myself to let it go. |
I pity you. |
Ok. Cool. |
OMG did he die from not doing dishes???? |
| i agree. but stop cleaning it up, OP. if it annoys him, he'll fix it. if it doesn't annoy him to have dirty dishes sitting out all day, you guys might just have different cleanliness standards. which is an overarching issue to discuss and figure out where your compromise is, but don't make it about the dishes specifically. |
