To think he's a bit of a prick really

[OlivesAreGod]

H just threw a massive strop because he doesn't have any clean work clothes. It's a sore subject in our house because I feel like I do EVERYTHING in the house as it is. I cook, clean, wash up, tidy, do laundry etc etc... He works a few more hours than me so thinks it gives him an excuse to do fuck all.

I've started to leave his clothes piling up at the side of the bed and saying I won't wash them unless he actually brings them to the washing basket (this is a grown adult man).

Over the weekend, I'd done a wash and the clothes have been drying on the maiden. I put some of his work clothes in this morning but haven't actually pressed the button because I was waiting for the other clothes to dry.

He's gone mental, throwing clothes about the kitchen screaming that I have so much more spare time and how the fuck would I like going to work in dirty clothes. I've screamed back saying I'd clean my own fucking clothes because I'm not a child who needs mummy to do it for them!

I've said why the fuck would he not just come home and put a wash on himself if it's bothered him so much. Apparently he's been making comments for days about how he has no clean clothes so I should know. Like yeah... I do know... But you're capable of washing them yourself?!

I probably could do more to make the house more organised but fucking hell, I work full time as well and well... I'm not his pissing slave?!

I'm absolutely raging. What a cunt!

l've just remembered something l forgot when l posted previously.
When l was in hospital with a broken ankle, post-surgery, off my face on morphine, he turned up at visiting time demanding to know "how to work the washing machine." l told him to wait til l got home. No idea why l did that. Must have been the drugs.
Months later, l got a phone call at work (l worked shifts, he didn't) wanting to know where the "instruction book for the iron" was. Apparently l had committed the cardinal sin of putting one of his work shirts away unironed. He actually thought the 'instruction book' gave you details of how to actually iron the shirt.
When we were splitting up, l taught him how to do it, and l bought him a (cheap) steam iron. And l made sure l got the very expensive cordless one. l reckoned that was fair reward for the years of crap l put up with.

I bet he manages to be able to use an iPhone properly so why can’t he understand washing machine instructions? I’m fuming on your behalf.

I will work very hard to convince my DD to end any relationship she has with a man who hasn’t been housebroken.

Out of all of my friends, the ones who have DHs who can’t/won’t do any domestic stuff are the unhappiest. They look worn down. I want my DD to have higher expectations of her partners. It may not seem too bad to do everything when it’s just the two of you but when you throw kids into the mix you suddenly realise you have an extra child to drudge for.

There’s a guy I work with, mid twenties. He still lives with his parents. His mum does all domestic work for his dad plus him and his sister. This includes all cleaning, cooking, washing, ironing, putting away clothes and making packed lunches for them for work. He laughed when saying he doesn’t even know how to iron! Which parent would want this man for a son in law?! He would make your daughters life miserable.

I blame his mum (semi joking ). My DH used to do sweet FA because his mum did everything for him and his dad when he was at home so he expected the same, regardless of if I had the time or not.

Dont back down. Let this be the first of probably many lessons for him.

I could not accommodate the penis of a man who behaved like this.

Indeed. Or who didn't have the brainpower to figure out the washing machine or how to cook.
