I’m the same way. I like a clean kitchen in the morning and for things to done in a tidy manner and my husband is not like me. I’m constantly cleaning up after him no matter how many times I’ve tried to tell him to do things differently. BUT is it really fair to expect someone to do things our way all the time? What if our way isn’t the way they like it… do we expect them to forego their way for our way. I don’t know, I guess I’m thinking out loud here. But maybe what I’m trying to say is give him a break. At least he’s doing it which is more than a lot of partners on these posts are doing. From what I’ve seen on here anyway. 🤷🏼♀️
@Cari right, that’s kinda how I started to see it. I like the dishes to be placed a certain way, our daughters clothes folded a certain way and it’s all my way (which looks better and is more convenient LOL) but I can’t expect him to do things 100% my way, like I want it cause he is not me and he just doesn’t care about lil things like that. He does all the outdoor work, takes the trash out always (I’ve never taken the trash out since we lived together, ever) also he is the only one providing at the moment which I’m grateful for. Love being home with my baby! I guess I was just frustrated with that lil mess, but also it was 4am he would never leave it like that during the day. Sooo yea I guess it’s all good haha! Thank you for your perspective too!!
Naaah, do not make excuses for him... "At least he's helping" no. He KNOWS the way you like it. And it's not that you want it your way because "thats just how I've always done it" you want it your way because its CLEAN. You're not his mom, you shouldn't have to clean up after him 🙄 Leave that mess and make him clean it up.
