Help me feel better with some of the mess your Dp/DH have made that made you feel like ltb .

Well whilst I was out dc for after school activities, I came home to no mugs . Apparently he went to put a mug away in the cupboard and everything came tubbling down . FWIW it was on a glass shelf with not the strongest support I will admit but I just feel sad that all my mugs are gone 😭😭. At least he didn't hurt himself. I know they can be replaced but I can't help but feel sad 😞.

Husband has an incessant need to avoid putting any lights on, preferring to do whatever he's doing in the semi darkness. Fine, I've made my peace with it and go ahead and save the environment (and our money) for the most part. BUT one day, he was carrying an almost full bowl of tomato soup my daughter had rejected at dinner back to the kitchen when he tripped over something in the dark and it went splat all over the cream hall carpet. Admittedly, I don't like the carpet and it was the previous owners choice but I still could have killed him 😂

Its not mess hes made, its actually the opposite.

When we first met, he would always, always get up from the table as soon as he had finished eating and start clearing away. I would still be eating. He had lived on his own for some time, but still. Thankfully he responded well to my 'I'm STILL eating, thats really rude' remark a few weeks in. And I didn't have to LTB over it.

He also has an impulsion to make the bed. As soon after he gets out of it as possible. A few times, I made it and each time he REMADE it. So I don't bother now. My bed making skills obviously fall short of acceptable to him. I almost had to ltb though recently as he was leaving the house before I got up. I had a rare lie in. He came in and made HIS HALF OF THE BED before he left.
