Love and Living together: This Charming Man

This Charming Man

Today, I explained to my man child of a boyfriend that we don't reuse dirty dishes. We have to wash them. He doesn't think it's gross and yelled at me, throwing the pan in the sink. Oh, he also refuses to wash dishes. FML

Today, I had to yet again explain to the guy I live with that just because you can't see dirt, it doesn't mean it's clean. And so letting his dog lick the plates is NOT the same thing as washing up. He won't listen to me, and he uses my plates. FML

Today, my boyfriend set up a very romantic dinner. Afterwards, he offered to wash the dishes while I went upstairs and relaxed. His way of washing the dishes was to scrape all the food off, then wipe the juices off the dishes with a paper towel before putting them back in the cupboards. FML

Today, my boyfriend, who moved in about a month ago, decided he wanted to move back out. Why? Because I don't keep my place clean enough for him. This, coming from the same man who refuses to wash or clean anything because "that's what women are for." FML

Today, my boyfriend was serving dinner, and decided to circle the table with my son's plate while making UFO noises. My son grabbed at the plate and spilled it, making a huge mess. They both decided that I should clean it up. FML

Today, my boyfriend did the washing as an attempt to help me. Not only are all my clothes now pink, he refuses to do the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom, ironing etc., as he has done "plenty." FML

Toxic masculinity = No housework

By sigh - 24/11/2011 19:30 - United States

Today, my boyfriend got upset after I politely asked him to do the laundry. He takes every chance he gets to act macho and brag to people about how he's in the Marines, but apparently he is too much of a pussy to act like a man and clean his own clothes. FML

I'll bet money he does this with other essential chores and activities so simple solution: break up and find a more mature individual if he doesn't grown the hell up

I mean I reuse some of my dishes like pans depending what I've cooked in them, like if there's nothing stuck to the pan and can be wiped off with a paper towel easily then I think its fine, if there a bunch of stuff stuck to it then yeah definitely wash that shit, also I'll use the same plate all day as long as there's nothing stuck on it. but I would definitely find it annoying that he doesn't even do dishes, he should definitely be doing some dishes seeing that he lives there too

The thing is bacteria tend to feed off of food even if we can't necessarily see the food or bacteria, it is there. The best temperature for bacteria to grow is between 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit. So room temperature is an excellent temperature for bacterial growth. It's best to wash dishes before using them again because you could have pathogens growing on the food.

doesnt bacteria grow on plates itself after they are washed & sitting on the racks?

Did you just move in together? I'm more worried about his anger issues. What else doesn't he do? Does he yell a lot? I'd leave and not come back My cast iron gets wiped clean. Maybe get paper plates?

Because this never works. BF will use every dish available and never clean them. Just toss the bf.

lol, I'd toss him too, he's not even worth the effort of separating dishes because he's just asking for critters... filthy animal...

If he's acting like a child, he should be treated like one. Take away his XBox or whatever his current favorite possession is. And seriously reevaluate the relationship.
