I’ve seen this play out so many times, in my experience, at some point, the ‘clean’ one in the relationship or family gets tired of the other person’s dirty things and cleans everything up, or causes a ‘scene’ and ends up looking ‘dramatic’ in the other person’s eyes. When I was a teenager, and my mom would do this, I would go so far as not to use a plate to eat because I had no clean plates left and couldn’t be bothered to clean them. My mother’s fantasy was that when I discovered all my plates were dirty and I had none left, I would clean them to eat using a clean plate next time. That never happened. If it were for me, I would’ve never used a plate ever again. To me, people who never went through this learning curve are just like I was when I was a teenager. I learned how important cleaning was when I moved to a house with 4 roomies, and they were ALL dirtier than me, and I endured what my mother had to endure raising me multiplied by FOUR. -

It’s clear that the boyfriend in the story doesn’t even know what his mistake is, and trying to explain it to him would be in vain. I honestly don’t know how one solves a situation like this with a partner. I honestly think everyone should live alone before moving out with anyone, so everyone knows how to keep up with household chores before jumping into living together. Even with that, cohabitating is always so difficult because everyone has different schedules for chores and different standards. I can’t think of any solution. What would you do?
