[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just drives me crazy and I've told him a million times.

If the sink is empty, put your dish in the dishwasher.  You know, that thing that is RIGHT next to the sink.  It's fine if we've all eaten and there is a sink full of dishes.  Ok, go ahead and add one more, no problem.  But if I emptied the sink after dinner, don't put your late night snack dishes into my clean sink!  It is like walking with muddy shoes on the floor someone just mopped when you can easily go around.  I HATE emptying the sink and coming down the next morning to find dishes in it.

I know, I know, it's a small thing.  However, it means I start off the morning irritated with him.  The house is in a constant state of chaos due to the four people who live in it.  Please, can you just give me the morning with a clean sink, for the love of God.

NP here; have not read replies.  Just want to say as a DW of a total slob, that I get it, OP.   It's not that it's a trivial thing and you being picky.  it's something you've asked for time and time again, and it's something small, and he just doesn't do it.  So it becomes symbolic of him not caring that it's important to you.  So it becomes symbolic that he doesn't care.

But it's not symbolic.  As a general rule, men are not symbolic creatures.  So don't take it that way.  See it as a dish, only a dish.  Assume it will be there, so you don't have to deal with the morning disappointment.  This approach will free you.  It's about making your life together ok in the long term; not winning this battle.

And FWIW, the morning will never be easy.  So digest and accept that, and you will be calm in the morning.

And OP, again...I totally get it.[/quote]
