I'm not going to actually murder him, obviously.

I am however, sick and tired of having to ask him to pull his weight around the house. This morning, after asking him for the 160000th time, that if he knocks clothes off hangers in the wardrobe, to pick up after himself (granted it was an exasperated ask), he called me an old nagging woman.

It literally enraged me. Why can't a grown man pick up after himself? I've already done more than my share by washing and hanging/folding the clothes and putting them away, the least he can do is not shit all over my work by watching clean clothes fall to the ground and not pick them back up. It's one of many of these type of incidents.

So I know the answer, but aibu for telling him to sort himself out or take his misogyny elsewhere?

No YANBU. But then I would just leave his stuff where it falls. Then all tell him he is doing his own washing and ironing as he can’t take care of the stuff you have done

And leave him to it

You stop.

Stop washing his clothes. Stop drying them. Stop ironing them. Stop putting them on a hanger and stop putting them in his wardrobe.

DH critiqued my ironing on his shirt once - and I downed tools then and there and 18 years later haven't been near an iron unless it's my clothes so, biannually He also made some comment about my cooking early days as well so now I cook what I want and he eats it quietly and thankfully.

I am 21 years into no ironing. DH washes, dries and irons 10 shirts every other Sunday evening.

I stopped ironing long before I left my ex. He was misogynistic, too.

I'll bin anyone quickly if they show these traits when I'm dating.

I'm actually happy living without a partner, so I'm not going to waste my time on someone who doesn't show respect to their partner.

And that's what this boils down to, OP. He's not showing you any respect.

Put them in a bin bag and take them to the clothing recycling place.
