She would be lauded as a hero who has to put up with this husband who can't even manage simple house rules that serve to keep the house and family clean and organized and he would be degraded, called names and laughed at for being such a bad husband.

Um, if I did this to my husband he would dump my ass. I would be embarrassed for myself.

Yes, if the roles were reversed, the DH would receive the ubiquitous moniker "man child" for his inability to follow some simple, reasonable household principles. Micromanaging can only be tolerated coming from one direction.

Honestly, the guy sounds like he's got some control or OCD issues. But the OP having a canonical list of transgressions ready at her fingertips sounds like they may be a matched set.

He sounds like a man who is over controlling but the OP sounds like someone who is "keeping score" about every little thing that annoys her.

Hello, I know it's been about 5 years since you posted his. What did you end up doing? Everything you mentioned is what I have been through the last 12 years. I just recently fell into a deep depression because of it. the part that I hate the most is that from the outside he seems like the "perfect man". So no one understands me.
