Did you/do you have a SO that thinks and acts like this?

I don't even know what prompted this memory,but when I was living with my ex,Dan,he figured that all the housework was my job because i was the woman,even though we both worked 40 hr week jobs. We had quite a few rows over my not doing 'what i was told"
he'd go out of his way to make messes for me

my ex couldn't even make his dirty clothes to the laundry basket 2 feet away, or put his dishes by the sink 5 feet away. he was a fucking slob and im glad i dont have to clean up after his stupid ass anymore. his mom took care of him his whole life and is doing it now again that he's a grown man. whatever- let her wipe his ass for him.

My husband...although he doesn't try to make messes - he's just good at it.
A few years ago we both worked 40 hrs/week plus I was the one commuting almost an hour each way and picking up/dropping off the kids etc. ALL the housework & cooking fell on me. ALL OF IT.

I got laid off in 2008 and have been a SAHM ever since. I told him if I ever do go back to work that he is taking over 50% of the housework.

He is your EX for a reason I will guess? Some guys are from the stone age. My DH does not do house work. But I have made it perfectly clear for 23 years. If he thinks something is to dirty, either clean it your self or wait tell I clean it. I clean when I want to. I will not let even him tell me how or when to clean the house.

He tried that one time with the kitchen floor. He says "The kitchen floor needs sweeping". I told him the broom is in the closet right their, get busy. He walked away. I left it purposely dirty for a week because he said that.

My ex would clean but, only after complaining about how I didn't do it & exaggerating on about how much he did do. During our marriage & the 2 yrs we lived together beforehand (about 11 yrs total) he did the laundry once and cooked dinner 4 times. But, he would clean up the kitchen & the bathrooms about once a month and was in charge of the liter boxes.
