Incidentally, I didn't post the first thing that annoys me about W.
#1. Regardless of what we are eating, W will always pull out a knife, fork, and spoon.
Even if we are eating pizza, and we need none of these. WHY? I was asked what does he do with the utensils he doesn't use, does he put them back or wash them. I said wash them of course. And then, I paused. Wait. Does he put them in the dishwasher? Oh my gosh. Has he been putting them back in the drawer all these years after getting his grubby hands on them? So I investigated. My findings revealed that he does neither. He leaves them on the kitchen island for me to guess what to do with them. Luckily, I always put random tableware in the dishwasher. I don't "guess" when it comes to tableware. So typical. It should be my #3. In fact I think it will.
#3. He never puts anything in the dishwasher.
By "never" I am being dramatic. Because it annoys W. In reality, it's ONLY 90% of the time. I am being generous. He will take the time to rinse everything and leave them in the sink. He thoughtfully will fill bowls with soapy water to make "my" job easier. Even if there is nothing that was in the bowl that needed soaking. Say maybe it was used for salad. But believe me, ANY residue left behind MUST soak by W's standards. God forbid he do any scrubbing. If I were to not touch the dishes, they would remain soaking for days. He tells me that he can't put the dishes in the dishwasher because of his back. He is a personal trainer, and his job is very physical, and he just cannot do any more bending or squatting. It hurts his back and for employment reasons, he must preserve his back as much as possible. This is not a battle I am interested in having however, so fine, whatever. I am married to a fragile personal trainer and if I push this issue, the fight becomes "you don't have any consideration for my health". Oy vey, who is buying this load? Not me. But whatever, I just put the dishes up and deal with my irritation. And then blog about it.
