A Singaporean guy took to Facebook to share his recent experience with his local girlfriend. He stated that he would cook dinner all the time for his local girlfriend but when he asked her to wash the dishes once when his dishwasher was faulty, she screamed at him and stated that her boyfriend was inconsiderate.
Here is the full post.
I have my own condo and am an avid home cook. Like many people, I hate washing dishes so last year I got myself a dishwashing machine.
Right now happens to be a super busy time for me. However yesterday I still took time out to cook two elaborate meals because they were dishes my girlfriend had cravings for. The ingredients for both were not easy at all to source and I spent a lot of time.
Yesterday, after cooking lunch for both of us, I went run some errands. During that time, somehow, my girlfriend broke my dishwashing machine. I wasn’t very happy as that meant a lot of dirty dishes to do by hand as well as having to go through the trouble of getting people to check and fix it. To make matters worse, it is a crucial time for me at work and I don’t have the time to handle all these. My girlfriend sensed my displeasure and volunteered to wash the dishes just for yesterday.
I cooked dinner for us later in the day and then went to take a shower. When I came out of the shower, the food was ready and I asked my girlfriend to quickly come eat before the food got cold. She was doing the dishes and coldly told me to go eat alone as she is busy washing the dishes. She said she rather don’t eat to save the trouble of washing one extra plate. She was angry as she claimed that I did not think for her and used more tools and dishes than she deemed necessary to cook and now she has more to wash up. I definitely did no such thing and clarified this but she just ignored my repeated clarifications and started screaming at me, telling me I am inconsiderate and she expected more of me.
I just feel really unappreciated. Moreover, I don’t get why she was complaining about washing dishes when it is a once off thing for her and it was a result of her breaking my dishwashing machine. This will inconvenience me for at least the next few weeks during a crucial time for me and even then, I did not say a single negative thing about it. Most hurtful was how she chose to lash out at me.
Am I wrong for thinking my girlfriend is unreasonable?
