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

Same thing different taste

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

Toxic masculinity = No housework

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

Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML

Today, my wife said I shouldn't wash or iron the clothes, or do the dusting and vacuuming, because, I "don't do it correctly." Also my wife: "You don't do anything to help around here." FML

Today, my boyfriend was tidying up around the room. I asked him if he'd like me to help, to which he responded, "No, I don't need any help," then added, "Wish you weren't so lazy." FML

Today, and ever since my boyfriend moved in, I've learned just how much his mother did everything for him and never taught him how to adult. In the last month I've had to show him how to cook, clean the house, do laundry and drying, use the vacuum, pay household bills, and he still moans its too hard. FML

Today, I discovered that my boyfriend, the one who does all the cooking in the house, doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. FML

Self-centered

Today, I asked my SO for help with just the laundry, which translated into him only washing his clothes. We're married with multiple kids, and I currently work 2 jobs. 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

I'm surprised you'd still want him to help after he just turned your wardrobe into Barbies' dream closet.

After the laundry I wouldn't want him doing anything else.

Im sure if he got a compliment or a thank you every once in a while he would help out more. Stop criticizing the poor guy.

Why get mad when you can get even? Next time he wants something (like a ******** for example ) stop right before he finishes and say you've done plenty.

I can only assume he is very very good in bed or wealthy to have survived with you. Not to be Dear Abby, but, "would you be better off with him or without him?"

How do you expect a man to do women's work anyway?

Alright, listen. If I am actually wrong here, I swear I will apologize. But how about, instead of calling me a misogynist, moronic douchebag, you actually come up with something constructive and explain to me why I'm such a horrible person.

because maybe, just maybe, the girlfriend got tired of doing everything by herself. just because she did it before doesn't mean its set in stone... My husband and I often switch off on chores depending who works more hours in a given week or if one of us feels like crap. In your scenario, she basically should've shut up and done everything because "she always has" *that's* what makes you a horrible misogynistic moron. Maybe he even messed up on purpose... or maybe he didn't care at all that he ruined the clothes.
