Dirty drawers on the floor
TT,
My wife is beautiful, vivacious and bubbly. However, she has this awful habit of not cleaning up after herself and keeping our place like a pig sty. One of my friends almost puked in our bathroom it’s so bad. The thing I hate the most ToughTalk is her throwing her dirty laundry into the corner of the bedroom. At first, I thought it was cute that a woman had these types of habits. My two sisters and mother are fastidious in keeping their homes clean, so this of course endeared me to her. Now it’s just plain disgusting. Day after day, seeing her skid marks and other gross stuff I won’t disgust you with. What should I do TT? (Cayuga Heights, FL)
Cayuga,
I would tell her she has until the end of the day to clean up her crap or you will take immediate action. Of course, as you have allowed this to go on for so long, and have shown real cowardice and gutlessness, she will just laugh in your face and ignore you. The next step is to find our what really disgusts her. Based on my experience with women, I suggest you stop flushing the toilet, especially in the morning. If that doesn’t work, you might try leaving used cleanex around the home, the more disgusting the better. Be creative, but regardless, you must be a man and take action. You don’t have a choice. And stop being a woosey.
