[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all could have been avoided had you just asked him if he was finished eating then you could have just picked the plate up yourself.

The tug of war power play is what's going on in your house. Alpha female vs. Alpha male. LET IT GO. [/quote]

Women, just clean up behind the men in your lives as you have done for centuries.  How had can it be?! (We wouldn't know because are too manly to do women's work).[/quote]

DP. You're missing the point. OP is the one who cared about the plate on the couch, therefore it was on her to do something about it. There's nothing wrong with a plate sitting on a couch for two hours while you're watching a movie.

I an very Type A and like it when all the labels in the fridge face forward. My husband and kids couldn't care less. As a result, it is completely unreasonable for me to expect them to face all the labels forward when they put stuff away. Sometimes they do it because they know I like it (or because that's how they happen to be holding it anyway), but for me to chastise them about it would be absurd. People can have preferences, and you can certainly share those preferences with your spouse, but to get mad at them for not following your preferences is a recipe for disaster (exhibit a, OP's marriage dynamic).
