Love, Cleaning, Housework and Cute: Nag nag nag

Nag nag nag

Today, I came back from a week-long vacation, to find my fiance had cleaned the house top to bottom, and finished three projects he was constantly putting off. I was over the moon, until he said, "Yeah, when you're not nagging me all day, I can actually get shit done. Crazy, huh?" FML

Today, after weeks of slaving away, I finally wrapped up the last house project on the backlog. I decided to take a day to relax around the house in celebration. My wife spent all day following me around, moaning that I never go anywhere, and that she never gets any space. FML

Today, my girlfriend returned from a two day trip. I'd spent the time cleaning the house and working on house projects, so she wouldn't come home and be stressed. She got upset when she got home because the house was clean, and it made her feel inadequate. FML

Today, I haven’t spoken to my husband in a week, and when I finally spoke to him he thanked me because he’s gotten so much work done round the house, caught up on all his paperwork for his job, and reconnected with his Xbox friends. I didn’t realise I was such a fucking distraction. FML

Today, I was really impressed with the man I've been in a relationship with for over two years. He had finally really cleaned his apartment. Everything was washed and fixed, even my stuff was cleared from open surfaces. All so his lover would not find out about me. FML

Weird reason to leave, but OK

Today, I moved out a few weeks ago because I was sick of my husband not helping around the house, and told him he’d never manage without me. I checked today while he was at work. The house is the cleanest I’ve ever seen it; apparently he doesn’t need me and most of the mess was actually mine. FML

Today, I returned home early from a week away for work. I was worried about my husband's mental health after a week alone with our two ADD kids. He wasn’t expecting me, but I was surprised to see the house cleaner than it had ever been, and our children happily reading on the couch. How did he do that? FML

Never enough

Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML

Today, I got excited because my husband will be away for 5 days, which means I'll be able to deep clean the house. FML

Today, I left my husband in charge of the house for a day. When I returned, I saw him gaming through the window, so I stormed in and yelled at him. Then, my eyes adjusted, and I saw the neatly folded laundry, clean kitchen, vacuumed rugs, and my son, who was asleep until I woke him. Whoops. FML

Today, I’ve been working 4 months to cover people isolating, so I was finally looking forward to a Saturday of fishing, a date night then a lazy Sunday watching TV. Only my wife who, as soon as she heard I had a whole weekend free, handed me a list of vital house jobs that need doing, “NOW NOW NOW.” FML

Imagine how much you could get done if you didn’t have to continuously ask him to do the same things?

My ex-wife nagged constantly and very little got done. My girlfriend helps and teaches me and my house is clean. Ask her to try something different like, I don’t know, making a list. If she goes back to nagging, especially with paltry excuses, do what I should have done a thousand times and leave.

Oooor he could be a grown adult and learn on his own, do things without having to be asked, and just generally not treat his partner like a mother he can bone.

He did that. He worked just fine without someone breathing down his neck. I think your his just got home. Better hurry up; he’s not going to nag himself.

Are you sure you want to marry a man who puts you down like that? Sounds like he's already showing you what he'll be like as a husband.

Very good if you'll just shut your mouth once in a while?

OP, please don't marry him. He only cleaned up the house so he could mess with your head. He's gaslighting you, making it your fault that he never does his part, and will use that again in the future.
