Today, my girlfriend bought several packs of bottled water, even though we have pure mountain water on tap. She did this because the pile-up of unwashed dishes in the sink makes it virtually impossible to slide a glass under the tap. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, despite having the choice of several bowls of clean water in the house, as well as puddles and ponds outside, my cat was drinking out of a pot I was soaking in the sink. She doesn’t seem to mind the taste of dish soap. FML
Today, my wife asked for water, complaining about being thirsty. I got off the couch, walked two rooms over, got a jug of water from the fridge, and came back. She spent the entire time ranting about how thirsty she was, and when I handed her the water, she set it down and continued to complain. FML
Today, I washed all the dishes that had been piling in the sink over the week, and set them in the drying rack before I left for school. I came home to see that my dad’s girlfriend had put them back into the sink, along with her dirty dishes. She told me to re-wash them. Why? “They didn’t smell clean.” FML
Today, my wife bitched at me for not washing my hands before handling the dishes. The dirty dishes. That were sitting in a sink of hot soapy water. According to her, the dirt from my hands was gonna make the dirty dishes even dirtier. Huh? FML
Today, my roommate yelled at me yet again for using the dishwasher because it's "unsanitary." This is all while a mountain of her dishes were going mouldy in the sink. FML
Today, I watched as my girlfriend washed the last of the dishes with a dishcloth, then used that same dishcloth to wipe down the counters. I now understand why we always have bugs. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that I have the bad habit of not doing the dishes before he has his daily piss in the sink. FML
Today, upon waking up, I took a sip on what I thought was a cup of water on my nightstand. I quickly discovered it was my roommate's cup of used mouthwash which she was too lazy to throw out the night before. FML
Today, I was asked by my live-in landlord not to put too much water in the kettle because it made the utility bills too high. This is the same woman who takes daily baths. FML
Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML

I think it's time to do some dishes. Plain and simple.

okay, a) you don't need to live with your girlfriend b) you're house must be really messy if you have piled up dishes. As a married man and a father of 3, I can tell you right now that if you don't start doing your dishes and making it a habit, you're going to be screwed. Reason I say that, is because when I lived with roommates (which your girlfriend is considered as being a roommate since you aren't married and most likely aren't paying bills from one wallet, but paying from 2 separate wallets) I didn't do my dishes all the time, and I always had to do a huge pile later, of not only mine but others dishes and I had to do it on a day I didn't want to, like every day unless you keep up. When I finally got married and had kids, I still didn't do my dishes and my wife was so pissed off because it creates the other habits of not keeping the rest of the house clean. Do what my wife and I do, keep the house spotless! It's possible without being a clean freak which I am no where near being. Not only will it make you happy, but it will make others happy to be in your house. You hopefully should now see how important it is to keep up with dish duty given what you've just experienced. A clean home is a happy home. So get to it boy!

I took a typing class over 20 years ago, so it didn't take very long

you need to teach my husband that it's the job of /both/ parents/spouses to do household chores he seems to expect me to do all the housework, laundry, dishes et c plus take care of our two small kids plus take care of him /and/ still do the artwork that earning us a small bit of income because I'm 'the mom, it's /my/ job' and ******* smile about it! also likes to tell me I'm abandoning/neglecting/abusing our kids if I want to get away and go do something only for me ((a walk, get a cup of tea at the local coffee shop)) I don't consider going grocery shopping or walking down a crowded street to sell my wares ((handmade beads charms and pendants)) 'having me time'

hah I could easily do that. I had to teach myself. - - and I'll agree, it is both parents job. Laundry and dishes are at the top of my list as to what is a MUST from BOTH parents. They're physically demanding jobs that need to be done every day. I can tell you what my wife and I do most days (because of both our work hours). Take turns. You switch off either day by day, or week by week, which ever works best for you. I'd suggest you don't stretch it to every 2 weeks or monthly, because given what you said seems like he needs repetitiveness. My oldest is 16 now, so we now get him pitching in (cooking, laundry, at least do his own dishes, but more often than not, everybody's, and the dishwasher), and get our younger kids (ages 8 and 4) to do the more simple chores (vacuuming, dusting, cleaning their room, help them with the dishwasher, etc). I can understand what you mean by going to the grocery store, my wife and I do that together and take the little kids. My wife started having her 'me time' when my oldest was starting school (kindergarden - - morning time), because she had the time and was more comfortable as being a new mother at that point. I do believe that mothers deserve 'me time'. I don't think it's neglect at all, or abuse. In my opinion, if dads get their 'me time', than mothers should get it too. My wife often goes out on saturday nights and I take the kids, it's been that way since our oldest was 6 or 7. It also gave me a chance to spend time with our kids and I take them out to a movie or something. What I would do is, check his schedule, start him off by going on a date with him, than talk to him about it and make him define what he means by "neglect", "abuse" and "abandoning". By that point it makes him think. Ask him all the tough questions. Than pick a night that works well for you and a night he is most likely home, and may be a good night for you to go spend a few hours out with a few friends or just by yourself, whatever works. Than tell him that you're going out that night, and keep going over and over, without abusing (I hate using that word but it seemed to fit) the time of going out for a night and not letting it get in over your head. Sounds like you're a good wife and mother! Best of luck to you!
