We have three children, all over the age of 10. My husband was off work today and we’ve been doing errands separately and working around the house. While I was in the shower my husband came into the bathroom hoping I would stop showering and start making dinner. Yes, really. Our conversation went like this…

Husband: Are you okay? Me: (confused, still showering) Yes. Why would you ask me that? H: I was wanting to know if you want to eat dinner. Me: (still showering) Like, right this minute? H: No, I just mean some time tonight. Me: Well, yes. Eventually I would like to eat dinner some time tonight. Why are you asking me this? H: Well, I’m going to need your help making dinner. Keep in mind the man is fully able, and he knows how to cook Me: What? Why don’t you get started without me? It isn’t difficult to chop an onion and brown some ground meat. Husband: (leaves the room without speaking, closes door loudly on the way out).

People of Reddit, I have been married to this man for 20 years and I promise in all that time I’ve never needed a welfare check while I am showering. We had the menu planned and groceries bought hours ago (I made a suggestion, he said no and specified another entree). I’ve asked him to stop the passive-aggression and communicate directly to no avail. I guess even he knows that only an asshole would interrupt their spouse’s shower to say, “I want you to stop showering and start cooking dinner”.

Not gonna lie, this kind of makes me want to stay in this bathroom all night!
