By the time I've finished clearing up my own rubbish (if I bother) I'm too tired to clear up my GF's rubbish or my son's toys. Perhaps it is a man thing. I realise that I have actually expected some kind of thanks from my spouse in the past for getting off my a** and doing some cleaning when in fact I deserve none at all. FACT . I don't do enough, she does more.
It has nowt to do with drinking though...obviously, being pi*sed impedes one's ability to do simple tasks and actually causes more mess than is being cleared up but it doesn't change the fact that most men don't do as much around the house as women do.
My point is...
Reading posts on this website...any posts.. is educational. It allows me to stand outside myself a little and see what I am doing ...or not doing...that could be improved. So, perhaps now i will do a bit more around the house unconditionally...just cos it needs doing and it takes some stress of my GF's shoulders
You never know...she might even like me a bit more!
Thans for letting me get that out...very useful therapy.
