Being utterly exasperated over DH foot peel

My DH has so many qualities about him but his personal habits utterly disgust me. They include keeping dirty cups, plates and bowls upstairs in his study to the point where there are no more left to use, in the case the cups. I counted 9 cups last time which by then all needed to be bleached out, as do the other dishes generally. He also has a habit of scratching his feet, leaving a mass of foot peel on the brown leather sofa (he does it elsewhere also, including in our bed but the peel doesn't always show which is still unacceptable). I have tried everything to address it but he continues to do it. It's exasperating and is a deeply unattractive and I fucking hate it. I resent cleaning up after him but if I don't do it, it'll never be done. He always apologises afterwards, promises not to do it againpbut still continues to do it. AIBU to feel that I really can't take it any more? Or am I blowing this out of proportion?

Collect the foot peel and mix it up with some finely grated parmesan cheese to be offered next time you have spaghetti bolognaise

FOOT PEEL? Jesus christ. And he expects you to be able to want him sexually?

Mr Footpeel, seriously, you may think this is no big deal but it's the sort of thing that erodes the love, so if you want your relationship to flourish you'd be better off not leaving your used mugs for your wife to clean up; you should be cleaning up after yourself like a grown up. As for the foot peeling, FFS just stop being so skanky! Do you honestly expect her to find you attractive when you're behaving like that?! Come on, stop being such a slob.
