Today, my boyfriend set up a very romantic dinner. Afterwards, he offered to wash the dishes while I went upstairs and relaxed. His way of washing the dishes was to scrape all the food off, then wipe the juices off the dishes with a paper towel before putting them back in the cupboards. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend did the washing as an attempt to help me. Not only are all my clothes now pink, he refuses to do the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom, ironing etc., as he has done "plenty." FML
Today, I was quietly admiring my boyfriend from outside the kitchen as he made us dinner, only to witness him drop a load of spaghetti on the floor, swear, then scoop it all up and place it back on the plate. FML
Today, I explained to my man child of a boyfriend that we don't reuse dirty dishes. We have to wash them. He doesn't think it's gross and yelled at me, throwing the pan in the sink. Oh, he also refuses to wash dishes. FML
Today, I woke up early and made my boyfriend french toast. When he woke up, he yelled at me because it was his dish day and I was creating more dishes for him to do. He made me do the dishes. FML
Today, my boyfriend was serving dinner, and decided to circle the table with my son's plate while making UFO noises. My son grabbed at the plate and spilled it, making a huge mess. They both decided that I should clean it up. FML
Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML
Today, I discovered that my boyfriend, the one who does all the cooking in the house, doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. 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, 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 boyfriend yelled at me from the other room for washing the dishes "too loudly". FML

I hope you had the good taste NOT to confront him about the shitty cleaning job. I once cooked a big dinner for my wife and her family, and only got complaints about the clean-up -- I've never cooked for her again! It's OK to whine about it to us in FML-land, but I sure hope you didn't bitch him out.

Just let him do something nice for you, then you can wash them later.

Get over yourself! He made you a nice dinner. Let me also translate this whole thing for you: "Go upstairs and relax" = "Go upstairs and get into the mood for some banging." "Ill do the dishes, honey." = "I'm going to rush through these dishes so we could get to said banging." It sounds like he cares about you, and is really attracted to you. Give him a break.

Maybe no one ever taught the poor guy how to wash dishes? At least he tried. It's not like he was taking the lazy way out, that seems like a ton of work compared to just rinsing and scrubbing.

I think I just threw up a little. GUYS: Being able to cook food and maintain a non-lethal level of domestic hygiene is as basic a set of life skills as dressing yourself and wiping your own ass. To say this is "woman's work" is utter bullshit, and I hope you're all just trolling for effect. There is no excuse for human beings to not be able to perform the most basic tasks required to sustain their own miserable, pathetic lives.

thank you! someone needs to gently instruct this young man in basic hygiene, and since his mama didn't teach him (or it didn't take), the girlfriend is going to have to step up.

Okay so he set up a romantic dinner and 'cleaned' dishes by a standard that is probably not even his own (evident by the fact the op is/was still with him). Most likely he was just doing that to hurry up and get the op into bed.
