. . . to start divorce proceedings over his 'help' to put on the duvet cover?

[Jon65]

So the first attempt consisted of my putting the duvet corner in the top but his side he somehow managed to get it in the bottom corner. Second attempt he got the bottom corner of the duvet in the correct corner of the cover but managed to twist it. By this time I'm saying just leave it. Please, leave it I'll do it, but no he's adamant he'll help. The third attempt he ended up wearing it. I couldn't help it, I just couldn't take any more and stuck it over him telling him he needs to sort his life out. Is this it? Is it the end?

Get single beds. Cheaper than a divorce and at least you the duvet covers will be more manageable.

In my experience of husbands they have to pretend to be ghosts when they try and change the sheets. Is definitely easier to do it myself

Agree with Miranda We always have a duvet ghost when dh does it.

Aaah the old trick of a man pretending not to know how to do stuff!
Works almost everytime!!

Give him some YouTube videos to watch on how to put on a duvet cover and any other jobs you need doing that should sort him out and it will save you having to repeat yourself and stop you from strangling him!!

Good Luck OP

Clearly he needs to do it every single time to get the practice in. Putting on a duvet cover isn’t difficult; he was fooling you so he never has to do it again.

LTBed. 😁

I had a genuinely wonderful marriage and miss my DH every day, but we would not have lasted as long as we did if we tried to put a duvet cover on together. I have enough trouble trying not to fall out with myself, when I’m doing it.

Don’t even think about putting a Christmas tree up together!!! I blame those bloody Xmas films that show the loved up couple finishing off the tree and still being lovey dicey to each other. Aye right! I put the tree up and my DH would hide in the corner, quivering, watching tv and getting well oiled on a bottle of Baileys. I would be drinking wine and swearing at the lights.

The only time me and DH ever argue is changing the bed. He favours the ghost technique and then violently shaking it, so I drop my side.

For some reason it always feels exhausting

We often fall out about the duvet cover too

I have never understood why when my husband changes the sheets it takes about 30-45 minutes, how can it possibly take that long? I'm convinced he does it so I just take over and do it myself...which to be fair I do, so actually he's the clever one here
