If we’re honest, we’ve all got our share of annoying habits and, shall we say, particular ways of doing things. Maybe it’s the way we eat our pie, how we stack our dishes, or some other inexplicable little routine. We might even recognize these habits for what they are, whether plain irritating or just a little gross, and know we should probably behave differently in company. But when you’re in a relationship, over time, we tend to, well, let it all hang out: our quirks, messiness, and less-than-ideal habits. But surely there’s a line?
If there is, these men don’t seem to have gotten the memo. From weeks of laundry piled high for “someone else” to tackle to downright puzzling (if not nonexistent) waste-disposal techniques to just plain inconsiderate behavior, their wives and girlfriends have their hands full. So they did the logical thing: They turned to the internet, entertaining us with a glimpse of what happens when domestic bliss starts looking a little more like domestic chaos, one mildly infuriating (and sometimes suspiciously convenient) “shortcoming” at a time.

And there’s another important distinction: doing something differently isn’t the same as doing it badly. As Kecmanovic puts it, “Both partners should give each other space to do the job as they see fit, even if the kids end up in mismatched outfits or the kitchen doesn’t look exactly the same.” As long as the dishwasher doesn’t have to be repacked altogether, it’s okay if things are stacked a little differently.
The problem comes when “different” becomes “I’ll do it so badly you won’t ask me again,” or when someone repeatedly avoids the task altogether. That’s when a minor difference in habits can go from just mildly infuriating to a much bigger source of resentment—one that’s far harder to laugh off.
#22 Instead Of Letting Me Know His Shoes Are Dirty, My Husband Just Buys A New Pair And Hides His “Old” Ones
These are from the last 5-6 months. I regularly (try to) clean shoes every few months. Ridiculous behavior.
Edit: to clarify, we’re both men(gay). I enjoy cleaning! Love language is acts of service and I like clean shoes. Husband used to run, but hasn’t in years, prior to covid. I’m not sure why he does this, I’ve asked him. I don’t police him, I just think it’s excessive especially in this economy.
