[quote=Anonymous]I am your husband! And I am a wife! It’s not over two plates, obviously, but I DEFINITELY read my husband leaving messes or halfassing his measly share of the chores as disrespect to me. It makes me feel insulted. We have worked on this in couple’s therapy. I’ve been able to change my thinking somewhat. I still feel insulted by it a lot of the time, tbh. I would say in general I’m pretty easy going and accommodating and this definitely happens to me more when I’m otherwise stressed out. One thing you might do to head it off is if you need to leave something you know bothers him undone, communicate about it. A text that says “I ran out of time for the plates, will get them at dinner.” Or “I ran out of time for the plates can you help?” Should he just pick them up anyway? Arguably yes! But if he feels insulted the way I do, communicating is the best way to help imo. [/quote]
