Chip Chick
She and her husband have been married to one another for 16 years, and she does really love him.
He’s got a wonderful personality and sense of humor, and she can tell that he loves her a lot too. She loves getting to spend her free time with him, and they don’t have children or problems outside of how messy he is at home.
“But this is now causing me a lot of resentment,” she said. “I took a year off for mental health, I stayed home full time, and he worked more hours to make that happen. But now I’m getting back into the workforce at a little place only 4-5 days a month and increasing slowly.”
“But every time I come home from work, the house is a bomb. Tonight again – pee on the tile floor, chip bags strewn on the floor and stuffed in cushions. No fewer than 6 drink cups, plates, bowls, and random forks everywhere. Dirty laundry tossed everywhere, clean laundry on the bed, no sheets- I’d asked him to at least make the bed as I had to wash the comforter after he left the little dog in bed too long, and she peed it.”
“He says, “but I made you dinner,” which was 6 overcooked potatoes he had left in the oven since 6 pm; it was now midnight. Plus, some meat which apparently required every saucepan, skillet, and strainer we own. Sauces and spices smear every surface except where garbage lays. He apologized and ran to clean the urine up – I look over to see him pouring bleach onto the floor before wiping it up with my new Christmas gift – fancy bath towels.”
Her husband could have used a stack of ancient and destroyed towels to pick up after their dog, but instead, he picked the super nice new ones.
She doesn’t see herself spending another 16 years married to him while being so upset about this mess.
She also is interested in picking up more shifts at work, but she can’t bear the thought of leaving the house for that long only to come home and find it far worse off than when she left it.
What do you think she should do?
