setting a little test for DH

do you ever simply get so frustrated by your partners inability to see whats in front of their eyes.

wheres my keys... right where you left them, where's the nappy sacks.. exactly where they were last time.

so today, i've decided to put my DH to the test.. we've had the grandbabies visit today, i put all the guffins away because 'he's forgotten how to fold up'. this that or other.

there an un-used nappy sack, next to the hearth... its been there now since 3pm, and normally i would just pick it up and put it away, the same as i would put things on the stairs, he will step over them, i ofcourse will pick them up and carry they up.

I wonder exactly how long it will be before he moves it, cos i won't

My dh acquired a tyre as I had seen a ddog outdoor bed on Pinterest.. I though ddog would love it.. Looking down on the minion other ddogs. Not a project I couldn't handle people but dh was adamant he would do it for ddog.. The adored ddog..
The adored and missed ddog... Who died in February 2020.. The tyre is still on a table outside. I actually use it as a cup stand to stop our current ddogs drinking my tea..
Likely it will still be there when we have no ddogs left at all.

Thank you all for reinforcing my decision to never get married nor live with someone.

Do you know @MaidOfAle , much as I love DH, if I could go back in time I wouldn't either.
I'd stay independent and take lovers.
Maybe even DH! 😉

I did this once as DH would open his post, read it and then drop it back on the floor (where he picked it up from below letterbox!).

It did irk me and so I set this same test - I lasted 6 days 🙄

Forever is the answer

This is the answer.

My DH & DC's went away recently, there was a bit of paper on the stairs belonging to one of the children and I kept thinking to myself 'That isn't going to move because I'm the only one here'.

They've been back 10 days. It's still there. It might be there until we move out. Who knows.

Just joined and have been reading posts. (Never used SM platform). Really shocked to find the issues that face me daily and have done for over 35 years are the reality for so many women too. I really felt that each episode where DH blamed me for his not finding things where they always are, expecting me to look, leaving things in the way, not picking up items he has left on the floor, filling the laundry bin because he can’t put the clothes away, leaving the kitchen items used but not put away and now not putting them in the dishwasher, oh and always having to “reply” when is speaking thoughts etc. was unique to me.
How terribly sad that I join so many women in this way of life.
Personally I want to know how and why we all are treated in this way, no matter what I do, when I do it, how I do it, its always “never as good as” .
There is a whole raft of my life that I realise has disappeared over the years and I am left with one piece of my life I will never surrender, my garden, it is my happy place when I get to be in it by myself.
Atm, dh seeks me out when I venture into it, only yesterday while dead heading flowers, instructed me to pick up the twigs off the lawn and pass them to him to take to the bin. I left the garden and returned inside only to be followed in 5 minutes later to be asked why. Just venting some frustration after so long, probably not a good idea, so will return to my solace, that is the garden. 🪴🐛🏡🪴
