DH is doing revenge housework because he's annoyed with me.

[twistyturnycurlywhirly]

I shouted at him for messing up the recycling AGAIN. Yes I know it's unreasonable to shout at your partner, but it's been 8 years of me explaining why paper and plastic need to be separated.
I've made him dinner, but he's left it on the side as an act of defiance 😂. So far he's cleaned the litter tray, tidied up DCs toys, emptied all the bins and watered the plants- I've never seen him do anything in the garden before.
All so he doesn't have to talk to me or eat the dinner I made him.

My DH sadly rarely angry cleans (although it's great when he does!), but he does like to exile himself to the sofa overnight - might be worth a final push for this OP?
Our sofa is on its last legs and does not provide a good night's rest, plus it's leather so is squeaky and sticky to sleep on! He makes no attempt to turn it into anything resembling a bed, just grabs a too-small thin blanket. He is trying to make a huge point by sleeping on it. I roll my eyes, move my pillow into the centre of the bed, and assume the position of a starfish... Bliss!

My ex used to do this.
Ah how I miss the passive aggressive kitchen cleaning.

Oh Dear... I need to have a proper conversation with the BF, he has been incredibly helpful this week... and I had forgotten that “little” argument we had a week ago. I had not realised I had offended him that much!

@upple your husband is probably on Dadsnet having a right laugh!! Stop woman!

Wow wish mine would !

Has he cleaned the floor? Drop his dinner on it.

My mother angrily empties the bin. I saw her do it twice in the same argument once.

This is brilliant and I'm male. And yes I used to clean through being pissed off with my now ex wife. I never missed a meal though!!!

Men like this exist? Where can I find one?!

Revenge housework

This is one of my favourite threads ever. I properly giggled at:

“Right, I let him in, but he walked straight past me without a word and plumped the sofa cushions.”

I’ve got a broken knee cap. I’m quite capable of walking with or without crutches (can weight bear but crutches advised along with immobilising brace) but I was cooking a V V basic dinner earlier and EVERY time the oven timer went, he met me in the kitchen and interfered. Cook or don’t motherfucka

I angry clean. I was researching sensory integration disorder and doing heavy muscle work, like cleaning and gardening actually calm the brain. So he's doing his own therapy. I wish my dh angry cleaned. He just sulks. Even when he says he's not.

HE ATE HIS DINNER. Bastard.

Sneakily or was he open about it OP? Bet he was seething you are the cookies - roll on another revenge clean in his fury

he walked straight past me without a word and plumped the sofa cushions
That's some hard core revenge housework. I lost the ability to even notice the sofa cushions long ago & my plumping muscles have atrophied.

@QOD my DH does something similar. Whenever the oven timer sounds he turns the bloody thing off - regardless of whether I am in the room and have actually heard the alarm. The number of meals/bakes I have barely rescued following his ‘helping’ is beyond counting.

I like to leave the alarm sounding, even if I am in the room, until I’ve actually actinide whatever needs doing with the contents of the oven. He cannot get his head round this at all!

Hahahaha

I've just found metal in the paper and card recycling. I love him dearly, but he's clearly too stupid to understand the basics of recycling. 🙄
