Girlfriend refuses to respect boyfriend's weekly laundry ritual, her insistence on crossing boundaries reveals red flags in relationship: "This isn't just about laundry"

Happy end of the weekend, tea-lovers of the internet. After a weekend full of relaxation, catching up on chores, and binge-watching your favorite series on Netflix, it can be difficult to get back into the daily grind mindset. It is helpful to have some sort of ritual to let your mind and body get back into the swing of things. Some people like to do a lot of cooking on their Sunday evenings in order to meal prep for the coming week; others make a point of journaling and setting up their calendar. I personally listen to a podcast that comes out every Sunday; I look forward to it all week, and it helps me mentally prepare for a change in pace.

In our story today, a man, very committed to his weekly laundry ritual, finds that his boundaries are being broken by his well-meaning girlfriend. When he attempts to talk to her about it, she brushes off his feelings, revealing some underlying red flags. To get all the details, scroll down below!

I can understand that she wants to feel “useful” as he is paying for her share of the rent and bills, but she also needs to respect his boundaries and see his perspective.

Couple needs to cool down and have a chat. He feels disrespected because she didn't listen to him when he communicated with her; she feels disrespected because he isn't appreciated the effort and labor she put in for him.
