Do dishes after you used them. Much easier.
We both work from home. We have neither excuses nor anyone to blame.
We’re just the third panel twice in a standoff with the dishes.
We just have the rule that whoever cooks doesn’t wash. I hate cooking because I hate getting my hands sticky, my wife hates washing the dishes because she always forgets the corners and we end up rewashing anyway.
It’s perfect harmony. Whenever she doesn’t want to cook, I cook, and she then procrastinates washing as long as she wants because it is her responsibility and we both know it.
We basically never fight, but cooking and washing has never been a point of tension in this household lol.
Being a stay at home dad was fucking awesome!
Get out of our house.
The solution :-
Divorce.

Did I somehow accidentally move back to Reddit?
I would say the shut-ins on Lemmy are worse, even less exposure to the outside world. I’ve seen takes on Lemmy that make reddit incels look sharp, progressive and dashing.
Oh hi r/relationships
Not really. As a millennial this is a problem I have (and am not proud of). Hell, it’s a problem for a person from any generation with Executive Disfunction. The only Boomerish behavior I see in this thread is from you, for assuming that this is a single-generational issue.
Finds a comic strip that i don’t like.
This must be before my time, I must make my opinion known to all.
Proceeds to publicly talk down on the comic for being ”old and out of touch”.
Realizes Arc Raiders released in 2025.
Shit.
You could replace the game with every other title and I still would think the same about it ;)
Yeah i didnt recognized the game in the picture. But the idea behind this 3 Panel Comic would not change if its resident evil requiem or Monty on the run ;)
Alternatively, is too young to be married.
Hmm… Would being married change the narrative? And if yes, is it mandatory that its a hetero marriage or could it be a same sex marriage? ;)
My mom is in a non hetero marriage very much like this. But if you were married, you would know that mutual respect is key to making it last and be worth it.
My trick is to do the chores first, then with any leftover time I can do whatever I want guilt free.
Yeah, I got a similar trick. I just never get tired, bored, or distracted. You should try that!
Andy is short for Andrea, right? IMPOSTER EVERYONE!

leftover time
Get a load of the optimist over here
I know, when are chores ever done? If I didn’t allot free time for myself I’d never have any.
They have all of the time of the age of Aquarius leftover.
this is me today, but tmy husband just getting in from work lol
Uh, I do the dishes and the gaming and the laundry and vacuum and…
But she’s hot and makes more money, so its all good.
My wife goes into complete reading trance when she gets her hands on a new novel. Nothing will get done until that book is finished. Any response will be delayed until the next chapter.
I have learned to stop anywhere in a book and it helps a lot with chores. My condolences to your wife for her addiction.
I do 75% of the house work. Fuck this dated noise.
Oh chill out. The entire premise of this strip is that the guy in the third panel usually DOES do the dishes. Don’t be so fragile and masculine.
Worthless bickering that’s divisive.
Fragile! Masculine! You!
Sick burn. Do you feel like you’re winning? Browns and queers are being round up and put in camps but you get your dopamine hits punching up at half the base 🤷♂️.
You’re the one bringing up culture war bullshit because you’re so fragile and so value your precious precious masculinity.
Then why the fuck are you partaking?
Where did I post divisive comics or content designed based of 50 year old norms and stereotypes? I’m not quite following your logic.
Men like you are constantly under comics like this bitching and moaning discrimination over the literal smallest issues. It’s truly pathetic.
If you check his comment history, this guy is a full time troll. An easy block.
His comments read like 4chan ca. 20 years ago. Extremely embarrassing.
Thanks for the heads up. I see idiots like these all the time under comics like this, and didn’t realize it was simply bait.
🤣👌👍
This is some AfD tier shit-post.
My wife says im pretty good with these things over other guys shes known. My main thing is hey if im doing dishes or laundry its because it needs to be done and other things I might do get pushed down. Im unemployed right now though so not much of an issue of having time.
Yeah, Helldivers can do that.
Is it a bad sign that I instantly recognized ARC raiders?
I can’t even remember the name of the game and I still recognised it. That’s the sign of a game with a distinct artstyle and therefore probably not a bad sign on your part.
it’s Arc Raiders
Yes, thank you
weird, I thought i replied to the Helldiver’s comment lol
Is it meant to be obscure? I only recognized it because some youtubers I watch played it for a couple weeks.
I think one of the issues couples have with cleaning is that everyone has different schedules and approaches
I never clean during weekdays, sorry but work fucks me up and when I come home I want all relaxation
When the weekend starts after my Saturday morning I’ll go on a quick cleaning binge, and then Sunday night I do another clean binge and repeat
I always found it overwhelming to get started on big messes, so cleaning everything up immediately would get around my executive dysfunction. When I got in a relationship with someone whose approach was to be a human hurricane and then deep clean every once in a while it was a culture shock and it took years of me being a bad partner to become more responsible. I didn’t really understand the executive dysfunction so I self-loathed over it.
Same. If it’s something I can just rinse or wipe down I’ll do it now but if it’s going to require elbow grease it will keep til Saturday (or soak til tomorrow when it will be rinse and wipeable). Saturdays are for cleaning. Every few weeks I take a Monday so I can deep clean without regret.
Spend two hours of your precious weekend cleaning or 15 minutes once a day so it stays clean throughout the week.
Hmmm decisions decisions.
15 minutes on a weeknight is like 1/8th of the time I have to myself. Two hours of the weekend is a much smaller chunk
I think, there are some things that can’t “wait”, dishes, always after meal. I never want to arrive in my kitchen and it’s full of dirty dishes.
i don’t own enough dishes for it to be a problem
Same here. Sadly, both of my housemates are more like underscores.
The issue is people assume their way is the only right way and when someone does it differently they interpret it as lazy or malicious, rather than responding with humility and trying to find out how their partner thinks.
