My boyfriend has no qualms about doing the laundry.
Except he doesnt do it right so I've learned to stop asking.
Theres always mass amounts of tobacco in his pockets and it gets under my nails so I force him to empty his pockets for me.
And it takes him forever to do the dishes so i just do it myself.
the thought is appreciated, but as a woman, I do these tasks much better.
This is a classic maneuver. If there's something you don't want to do and you get asked to do it, there are a few options.
1. Do it well and efficiently:
Result: It gets done quickly, but you WILL be asked to do it again
2. Do it all wrong and take forever
Result: This is a greater up front time investment, but eventually you will no longer be asked to do said task unless absolutely necessary.
This is a great ploy that I used on my parents when I was younger and will continue to use in my day to day life.
