We'd make exactly the same thing, using the exact same ingredients and cooking method. I'd tidy up as I went along, meaning that when I sat down to eat there was usually only the vessel for the cooking remaining to be cleaned. No great hardship. I'd washed a few spoons, the odd knife, perhaps a pan and a chopping board. Stick the cooking vessel in to soak. Done. She cooks exactly the same thing. The kitchen would look like a bomb had gone off. Every pot, pan, utensil, chopping board, colander, grater, peeler, plate and bowl we owned, including stuff I had never seen that must have been hidden away at the back of some cupboard, would be piled up, utterly filthy, waiting to be washed. You've fucking triggered me here. I cannot fathom why she doesn't get rid of items/clean up as she goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 My wife won't ask me when she wants something, she'll speak round it and around it and get angry if I'm not paying attention and pick up on her wee cues. This is not a good situation as I'm of a mind that if you want something then ask and I'll say aye or no. Its almost always aye so where's the worry. So it frustrates the hell outa me when she doesn't ask. How bloody hard is it to say you want to go to fuckin Aldi! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went to make a cup of hot chocolate tonight, and goes straight to the cupboard to get a glass jug. When I asked what that's for, I'm told it's to heat the milk up in in the microwave. I go, can you not just heat it up in the cup? She was taken aback I do it that way, even although earlier in the day she had warmed up soup in a cup in the microwave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 She always leaves dishes for me to do when she's done tea. I don't mind much because she does washing and most hoovering, dusting etc. What i do mind is her new habit she's started, of leaving chopping boards or oven trays by the side of the sink but slightly overlapping the edge of the sink. Put stuff in the sink or beside it. Not a bit of both you fucking lunatic. This is just the latest in a line of minor dishwashing irritations that I'm starting to think may be a pattern of abuse. Dirty teacups, not by or in the sink, but shoved in a corner so i don't notice them till after i've "finished" the dishes. Dirty teaspoons rinsed on one side only and put on the draining board. Throwing out the last scourer when it's been out less than a day. She's definitely trying to goad me into a rage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will focus more on her habit of putting all the dry dishes right next to the yet to be washed dirty ones instead of in whatever cupboard they belong to so that when I pick one up in my dishwashing zone state and wash it again she rages that ",it's already been washed , what are u doing !!!!?" Maybe put the f*cking things away , do you think I'm looking for miniscule food deposits before deciding whether it needs washed or not ? No , the system is everything to my right needs washed , everything to my left has been washed!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set off to visit folk last week so stopped at Asda as she wanted to take flowers and chocolates. 20 minutes later she comes back. I aked if the shop was busy. 'No, really quiet'. Seems asking if she was waiting for the flowers to bloom was the wrong reply. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 We work at the same place. And we have a routine - I drive, and she has her music on in the mornings, and on the way home I get some decent tunes on. This morning, dropping her off outside her building, loads of people milling about including a few folk I know. She is exiting the car and all the bystanders hear is Steps blaring out of the speakers of my car, with me in the driving seat. Absolute beamer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I emptied a basin of water down the sink this morning and some of it came out through the bottom of the cupboard door. Spent about 45 minutes investigating (a seal on a pipe has degraded and come away) cleaning, and booking a plumber, while keeping any resulting excess water in the basin in the sink. She gets up at her usual leisurely hour, listens to me summarise the position then empties the basin down the sink. Then, while protesting that she is not, in fact, dim witted (i disagreed) she turned the fucking tap on! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
