I was in my early twenties, and having a fight with my husband over dishes. I was sick of always being the one to do them, and demanded he take a turn. He didn't want to, so I simply declared i wasn't going to do dishes again until he did a load.
I held fast. It took two months, but he finally did the dishes, which involved throwing a lot of moldy stuff away. He's much better about helping with dishes now lol
Glad you held fast. Everyone should take turns doing chores. It's kinda mind bending that people don't already.
I am legitimately impressed your marriage is holding together and getting better
That's disgusting, but not so much the dirty dishes, as the idea that he thought it just wasn't his job to ever do them. Jesus Christ...
Good for you for holding firm! ๐๐
Did yall not run out of dishes? Or did you clean one off as you needed it?
If I remember right it was a lot of frozen meals and plastic silverware
I pray no dish was reused
