A woman shared how she married a man-child who doesn’t help with the housework and goes cycling instead, and he accused her of having OCD.
Here is the story:
“I married a man-child too. I just didn’t know it would be so bad after marriage and I resent him so much everyday. I cook, clean, mop, wash and all he does it go out for cycling in his free time instead of helping out with chores.
It’s worse with kids because I have caught him using my toddler’s bath towel to wipe her bum after a pee/poop and the towel will smell of pee and stained with poop and he’d use the same towel to wipe her body after a night shower.
I told him that it’s very disgusting and he said he will not use wipes as it’s not environmentally friendly. Can you imagine my anguish?
At times, I’d spot faeces on the toilet light switches because he would use so little toilet paper to wipe saying it’s not environmentally friendly etc.
He would just toss the soiled towels right into the washing machine without first washing away the poop and I’d be so tired washing up after him..
As you can tell, he is very stingy and isn’t willing to spend on a cleaner to clean up.
Similarly, he says I am suffering from OCD when in fact he is the dirty one.
When I get so pissed at him for being a useless bum and start scolding him in my exhaustion (I have a full-time job and am tired after having to clean up after him everyday), he will say I have a foul-mouth?
So am I supposed to keep encouraging him to help keep the house clean, take out thrash every night etc? We are almost reachingn 40 and I don’t understand why he’s such a spoilt brat.
When his unmarried siblings (mid 30s) and parents come to our place for Christmas or CNY, they’d just sit around, watch tv, use their phone and not help wash up, take out thrash or set the table. They don’t even help clean or play with my kids.
WTF? Don’t chat, don’t make conversations, don’t help, don’t wash..
My advise to you is to leave him cos there will be other guys who value hygiene and your sanity. Find one who shares the same hygiene and priorities as you.”
