[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to understand, you took up all laundry cause you are sick of seeing it. Then on a brief stay between trips your husband washed his things but failed to top off the loads to include yours. Solution is instead of saying “hey why did you not tip off the loads” and “I’m no longer washing your things” you are going radio silent on the matter. You are just settling up for a big fight[/quote]

Yeah, this is my read on it as well. You already made the laundry your chore, so if your husband put any thought into his post-trip laundry doing at all (unlikely), he thought he was being kind and taking initiative instead of asking you to do it. He probably patted himself on the back. But because he didn't throw your clothes in too, you've decided it's not your chore anymore, but instead of telling him this, you're being the dictionary definition of passive aggressive. You could just say, "Hey, I don't really have time to do your laundry too. Let's do our own from now on." And yes, he'll think of himself as really helpful just for doing his own laundry, and that will be annoying, but you won't have to do his laundry any more so consider it a win.

I have a friend who waited to see how long her husband would keep refilling a dirty pan with soapy water instead of just washing it, but it turned out she was doing it in a "I love my goofy husband and I think this hilarious and I'm going to laugh with him about how many days it turned out to be" way, instead of a "I want to stick a fork in his forehead" kind of way. Life is short . . . don't sweat the small stuff.[/quote]
