She was gone for the holiday and left a bunch of stuff in the dishwasher. Honestly I'm just being petty because I'm tired of unloading her clean dishes when she won't do the same. But now that she's come home to a sink full of MY dishes, she's upset. When she asked me about it, I told her that it'll get cleaned up when the dishwasher is empty and I'm standing by that. I'll hand wash what I need but until she unloads it, I'm not touching shit.

Its fair but you’re just perpetuating a problem and letting it continue to toxify the living environment. Ask her why she refuses to share in the unloading of the dishwasher when it could be helpful to both of yall. If she still insists on immature behavior or refuses to even try. Maybe there’s something deeper and she’s afraid of being mistreated and being the only one doing it and feeling like a slave bc that’s what so many people deal with

I’ve personally just gotten to the point where I just clean everything. It takes 10 mins, I can easily spend that time scrolling on my phone. And it leaves me with a clean kitchen to not feel overwhelmed with. Easier than arguing for me

personally it’s kinda weird to me that you even do separate dishwasher loads, roomies and I just put stuff in there together until it’s full and take it out when it’s done, but it’s understandable to be a little petty if she started it and never does it

I wish I had the energy but I don't. I'm student teaching which in of itself is an unpaid full time job. I take all the free time I can get because I don't have a lot of it. I shouldn't have to take on more responsibility because someone is being inconsiderate.

Yeah that’s ok. Not telling you how to live your life. Just saying how I’ve coped with it

No we do our loads together... She just hasn't unloaded her stuff yet, my stuff was put away days ago. And I even used to put her clean dishes away until I realized she never put mine away.

We've talked extensively about this because it's an ongoing issue, she just doesn't want to do my chores which is fair (even though I was hospitalized for a few days). Even if that's the case, her trauma should not excuse her from not doing basic chores.
