He’s a ManChild.
Either put up with it forever or tell him you will never put up with it and keep on him to be an adult.

We went through a period where if he weren’t putting his clothes away, etc, I’d stick it all in his pillow.

If you want it done, then do it yourself.

OP--Not at all. Ex-wife was a slob, was one of the reasons they divorced.


Hmm. Yet here we are, talking about him being a slob...


OP--She was a bigger slob I guess or it was both of them....my step-DC tells me her mom's house is a disaster with stuff stuck to the floor for months and bathroom never gets cleaned.

Meant to say he no longer cares about any of the things he used to do when we were dating.


OP here--it's like the switch flipped and someone expect you to be their maid.


Is he feeling resentful over something? Something may be bothering him about your relationship, and he is acting out, instead of talking about it. See if you can get to the bottom of this, without specifically mentioning the issue of not cleaning up after himself.

We had a "peeing on the toilet seat" phase. Talk about stupid nonsense. I just asked if he'd forgotten how to pee properly, more joky than angry, I think that helped? Don't give up and start doing the lion's share of the housework, though, because you'll be doing that for life.

Ask the 16 yo if Dad has always been a slob and if that’s been an issue before for people living in the same house as him.

Fixed it for ya.

Okay, maybe not the trash. But if my DH left his stuff out like that, it would disappear for awhile. Same as when my kids leave their stuff out.

Clothes on the kitchen table? Ask hm once to remove. Then throw them all in a basket and sent upstairs (do not fold).
