WIBU to LTB for his untidiness?

Take today for example, instead of just getting a pair of socks out of his drawer like a normal person, he took the drawer out, emptied it all out on the bed and then left it all there.

He has managed to wear 3 pairs of shorts since last night (yes it is snowing where we are but he lives in shorts at home) all of which have been left on the bedroom floor.

Left huge skiddies in the toilet for me to clean up.

I’ve got two toddlers to look after and clean up after, is it too much to ask that he just bloody tidies up after himself?!

As light hearted as this post is, I have genuinely thought about leaving him just so I can have a nice, tidy house Blush

Why are you cleaning up after him, especially the toilet?

Tobebythesea · 18/03/2018 12:13

Shove the shorts on his side of the bed.

Because we would live in a complete shit tip if I didn’t.

He is fully aware of how pissed off i am over it but he never does anything about it.

Read this blog and then show it to your husband. maybe it will open his eyes. Because actually, yes, women do leave their husbands over these things. They don't leave him because of the occasional sock on the floor or because of the occasional cup left in the sink. It is the constant disrespect, that makes them leave.

What did you say to him when he tipped socks all over the place?

My ex used to take his socks off and leave them in the middle of the floor. There would be several pairs of stinking socks near the sofa for days on end. I told him that any of his shit just dumped on the floor for me to clean up would be treated as rubbish and thrown in the bin. He ignored that, so gradually, most of his socks got thrown away.

He clearly has no respect for you, stop doing things for him like cooking or his washing if you currently do it. Let him suffer the consequences of his slobbish behaviour. I'd also tell him how unattractive you find him, you don't want to have sex with a man baby that you have to play mother to.

I asked him why all his socks were all over the bed, he said he will sort it.... then went out Angry

To the PPs who said about him having no respect for me; I have said this to him before and he laughed and said he does respect me. I think he has grown up watching his Dad behave this way and his Mum just gets on with it so he really doesn’t get why I find it frustrating and disrespectful.

This is my only real problem with him, he is a brilliant partner and father is every other way but I do not want my DCs growing up thinking this is how things should be.
