[quote=Anonymous]Op here. He did eventually clean up the sand. I asked if he wanted to go see a family-friendly concert together next weekend. I’m trying to make deposits and cultivate shared positive time.

I am trying to smile and find positive things to dwell on.

A part of me longs for the vibe, space, and just overall feeling I had last week while he was gone. My energy and mood were totally different. I didn’t feel on edge. This home felt calm, clean, peaceful. I’m really trying to “not sweat the small stuff” and come from a place of gratitude. I swear I am. But it’s hard. I’m jsut being honest. Last night he ordered take out dinner for himself, and himself alone. I guess he was craving a specific place. I guess the food was good because he went to bed and left the plate on the counter, with food and crumbs everywhere, counter and floor. It never ends. I said to him this morning “I cleaned it up last night, but please put food away and wipe up food spills.” Him: “what food? Didn’t realize I left anything out”

It’s exhausting. He has always been messy but it’s been taken up a notch in the last few years. Legitimately does not clean up after himself. It’s gross and thoughtless and I’m not a maid.

I want peace in my home and I know that starts with me. Does that really mean laughing off these things as eccentricities and choosing to sweep it all under the rug?[/quote]
