Crumbs
Empty loo rolls
Things on the bottom of the stairs

Anything else? Hmm

This.

Plans to meet up with friends...

Tea stains on the kitchen bench

Isn't colour blindness sex linked?

EbiRaisukaree · 28/07/2023 10:25

Mine can’t see colour, but he definitely can see mess. I couldn’t live with someone who did this sort of performative helplessness in order to get a woman to do all the things he doesn’t want to.

That screwdriver they left on the side in the hall two weeks ago.

Mummysalwaysright · 28/07/2023 10:35

...how much space they are taking up, relative to the amount available.

Just to add - this seems to be the case with a lot of men, but luckily not my DP.

sarahh96 · 28/07/2023 10:36

All of that. Funny how they never lose sight of the remote for the tv though.

This.

Bit harsh Shock.

If he is otherwise satisfactory I wouldn't worry that much about the toilet rolls, and train him to see crumbs. The bottom step thing I wouldn't be doing anyway - health and safety.

That his toddler wants his attention and needs his affection more than his phone does 😔

That cleaning needs doing (cleaning anywhere)

That our bathroom needs replacing as lots of it is broken and doesn't work (or the holes in the flooring)

The damp on the walls

That the vacuum needs emptying

Gemzee · 28/07/2023 10:39

A full bin!

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 28/07/2023 10:42

Dust.

Wnikat · 28/07/2023 10:42

The correct size of child’s clothing at the front of the drawer, rather than the incorrect size right at the back.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 28/07/2023 10:44

Anything they’re looking for in a drawer of cupboard - because they just open it and stand there, expecting whatever it is to leap out at them.

So it’s no good saying, ‘Have you looked?’ - because that’s all they have done - looked.

‘Have you looked properly?’ is the term to use, but you have to explain in words of one syllable that ‘properly’ means actually rummaging about in drawer or cupboard.

That's not a reason to leave and to get a better man ffs. 🙄

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 28/07/2023 10:50

Meh. I 'cant see' crumbs and stuff either. Cos I can't be arsed. My house is messy. DH and I are pretty evenly matched about it though, and we don't care too much.

Just make sure you and your other half match up.

UNCLENCH. The pole will drop out your ass quicker if you relax and enjoy a lighthearted thread.

No, not "THIS" you humourless twonk. Invest in some Bants Pants and join the fun.

Cobwebs. I call him Mr Havisham.

Emmamoo89 · 28/07/2023 11:12

Crumbs on his couch. And around the couch.

I hope he trails around the house in a motheaten wedding dress and one shoe…😀

Swap ‘gilet’ for ‘wedding dress’ and you’re not far off! 🤣
