I’ve just found out what DH did on his day off.

[TimeAtTheBar]

He deep cleaned the house. Like all the sketchy bits, behind the furniture, the skirting boards, the dodgy bits of dust and grime in the creases in the window frames, degreased the extractor filters, all that nonsense throughout the whole house.

I only discovered it because I went to wipe a handprint off a door and, jif in hand, went to do all the doors. They were clean!

He didn’t mention it. Which is out of character as he can be a bit of a glory hunter wrt housework stuff. But he just said he was off work, kids were all out, I was at work and he needed something to do. He’s even descaled the kettle ffs.

This is untenable. How can I ever do pass agg cleaning around him now when he’s done six months worth of my jobs for me. Fucker.

What a honey 😍 send him my way. I’ve got a husband already, sexy bastard that he is, but he’s good for absolutely nothing when it comes to cleaning.

Yep, my first thought too.

Fucker. The high ground is the only good bit about doing any sort of cleaning / household maintenance. I am currently queen of lawn mowing, and as it now won't need doing til March I can hold that title all winter.

@TimeAtTheBar you sound as if you’re feeling out of control, disempowered, unsure of your ground - this is all because he’s gaslighting you with his sinister, underground Mrs Mop persona.

Take the power back; did he fold the end of the loo roll into a neat pointy shape? Did he clean the oven? No? Then this needs pointing out.

you MUST get your toilet ducks in a row.

Are you absolutely completely sure he’s not hiding evidence of a dead body? If he’s not then I’d deal clean the car to get back at him or maybe perfectly mow the garden or something

Deep clean the car*

Says someone who has never had to do a Forces march out! It wasn't unknown to have string threaded through locks to check for dirt, in the days when everything was supplied we had to make a frying pan we'd used for 6 years look like brand new.

I've pm'd my address. Send this man round pronto!!

This doesn't bode well.
It starts with the washing up and the next thing you know, he's shining knobs for the woman next door.

He's clearly having an affair with someone who likes cleaning!!! Ducks in a row now! Then please send him round to mine.

FFS, cool your beans, it's obviously a lighthearted thread!

He's after sexual favours for Being A Good Boy.

😂

Stealth boast. 😁

Does he have a brother, hell a father would do!

LTB O
lend the bastard out
you know you have to (like when we’re happy to be alibis for husbands under the patio) @

What a horrible man. Can't believe you're still with him. Raise your bar @TimeAtTheBar WFT is wrong with you?

TOILET DUCKS!!!

No way. He's murdered someone and has spent the day forensically getting rid of the evidence.
Being a mere man he'll have left traces somewhere.....are the patio slabs properly in place or do they look a bit wonky?

OP are you my NDN ? There was a huge issue with drains round our way . And now I think of it , I haven't seen the bloke for a couple of days .............?

That's awful OP I'm sorry. You're going to have to spend a whole day doing really horrible chores to make up for it. Once it's done though you have to absolutely draw a line, no more incredible feats of helpfulness. There's nothing worse than a partner bustling around and being saintly and helpful while you just want to be lazy!

I’m getting back at home by putting all the clean laundry away. There’s stacks of it. That’ll show him.

The high ground is MINE.

I would be very worried if I were you OP. I think his relatives are coming this weekend.

How can I ever do pass agg cleaning around him now when he’s done six months worth of my jobs for me.

He passively aggressively did the cleaning that you normally passively aggressively do. It's PA gazumping is what it is!

Kill him. Then send him round to everyone on MN to do the cleaning. That’ll learn him.

Back at him not home. My phone hates me.
