Sometimes, in a relationship partners have different ideas for sharing the responsibilities. A Reddit user NeighborhoodShot4168 shares her story. She had an argument with her boyfriend when he decided to cook. OP was recovering from a dental procedure. She told her BF she would not help him but support him if he wanted to cook. He made Mac n Cheese.
OP advised him to use a baking sheet to avoid the mess. But he didn’t listen to her and ended up with a big mess. After cooking he soaked the burnt dishes and asked OP to clean the dishes in the morning. She said no.
OP explained that this is not fair. He should not expect her to clean up his mess which could be avoided. He thought that she should feel guilty because she goes to work later than him. Now NeighborhoodShot4168 wants to know if she is wrong for not cleaning up her Bf’s mess.
