Girl, if you stay with this man, this is the mother-in-law that you will have to deal with. He's not even willing to stand up to her, so this dynamic will be for always and forever. Until the divorce, anyway.

In what world is siccing your mom on your girlfriend for not doing your laundry the right move? If his lack of apology after her comments at dinner weren't enough of a red flag, this certainly is!

28-year-old badmouths girlfriend to mom for her lack of enthusiasm while doing chores, she refuses to do his laundry in retaliation: ‘You’re not the domestic type'
Do you enjoy doing chores? Probably not, but there might be some household tasks that you don't really mind or that you find satisfying after-the-fact; for example, I find the full-body movement required to use a squeegee to push water out of the house to be really cathartic. Similarly, using a really high quality vacuum can be quite satisfying – especially when it crackles a little. While there may be a small percentage of people that genuinely enjoy domestic work, most people would likely jump at the opportunity to never have to fold laundry or wash a dish ever again!
In our story today, a young woman in a relationship finds herself doing most – if not all – of the chores at home. She does this will maintaining a full-time job, mind you. Yet her boyfriend still belittles her efforts to his mother, who then brings it up in a nasty way at family dinner. In retaliation, our protagonist stops doing her boyfriend's laundry. Guess who he runs to when his girlfriend stops acting as his personal maid?
