Sisters bf- red flag?

[Sundaycoffee]

I was round hers last night for a catch up.
Her fiance was in the kitchen and called out "(Name), I've got a job for you to do"
She walked into the kitchen and he said "i need you to go upstairs and see if there are any empty water glasses"
(Which she did)
I thought this was a bit strange to delegate tasks to a partner and was wondering if this is a red flag/ a bit controlling.
Never been totally sure about the guy. He gives me lots of unsolicited "work" advice when I see him at family events and my parents ask how things are going which always irks me a bit!
Hoping I'm probably just over reacting because it's someone I care about!

This would drive me mad in the long run. Can he not take care of the dishes by himself, why make it her job too? It's annoying when someone does only half the job and then expects their partner to 'help'

Very much overanalysing. DH and I often delegate tasks to one another. The context you're describing is very normal.

It seems you're projecting your dislike for your sisters partner onto their relationship.

That's not fair to your sister or her other half. You need to stop.

Lots of couples work as a team. Maybe she asks him to check for washing before she puts the machine on? It's not a red flag to do things that way.

Maybe it was something his parents said to him when he was growing up? I’m imagining he was sent room to room to find dirty crockery and that was what was said to him? I usually shout “anybody got any dirty pots?” Because that was what my mum would shout!

Maybe it was something his parents said to him when he was growing up?

Yes, but you don’t normally address your partner in the same way adults spoke to you as a child! It just makes him sound like he’s in charge and delegating, rather than asking his partner for help.
