Dp, lying over a stupid thing.

Baby isn’t very well so I’ve not had much sleep, so when both dc went down for a nap earlier I joined them.
I didn’t actually ask Dp to do anything or really expect him to, the house was reasonably clean/tidy and he’s been up through the night too.

But when I woke up, he’d obviously had a bit of a clean and tidy. I commented positively, mostly on the fact he’d sorted Ds’s toys as I’d be wondering where the hell to store them. He then told me everything he’d done while I slept, one of which was mop the floor. I asked what he’d used and he said the normal floor cleaner, only I ran out of that the other day and haven’t bought more. When I said that and after firstly saying he’s sure that’s what he used, he finally admitted he hadn’t cleaned the floor at all. Now he’s saying he meant to and just didn’t get round to it, but said it because he’d forgotten he hadn’t.

We’re trying again after being separated and he’s been really good and amazing while dd has been poorly. I really wasn’t expecting him to do anything while we slept, so why lie. I left it at the time but I’m really tempted to bring it up again and ask “why?”
Would I be unreasonable to do so?

I really don't think he's doing it to throw it back at me @OneDay10. We've got a 14 month old and 6 week old, both breastfeeding. He could do everything in the house and at best I'd say we were even. He knows I managed perfectly fine without him too. So he could try but it would bring us trying again to a swift end.

In my less sleep deprived mood, I wonder if he said it so I didn't feel it needed doing. He knows I do like everything done before I settle down on a evening, maybe I'm being too generous there though.

Not married though, so no marriage to save. Not the point I know, I just saw a few posters mention marriage/husband and I'm not married to him.

I suggest you google the movie 'the invention of lying' .

Was that recommend for me @crystal1717?

He made a bit of a joke about it earlier and I did say something back but just jokingly.
I think he was just wanting to look like he'd done everything, probably hoping he'd get lucky if the baby slept. She didn't, so he didn't 😂
