Rant ahead
Okay so my roommate, myself and 2 cats all must coexist in 4 little rooms. Long story short; it gets messy, sometimes downright dirty.
Usually I'm pretty okay with this, I don't mind a messy home especially when cleaning up is so very temporary (I've cleaned the place spotless and then the next day have people question why i never clean my house) but I don't like filth. So every week or so I get the cleaning bug and I clean everything and try to organize the chaos. I don't drag my roommate into this, he just bitches whenever I do. he complains that since he has a job and I don't all the cleaning should be my responsibility and i don't mind cleaning/cooking/doing laundry for him because he does work full time and he does let me live in his house. What crosses the line for me is whenever I do want help all i hear are exasperated sighs and complaints that I'm interrupting his Magic or League game. So i usually leave well enough alone.
well sometimes I don't want to clean. Maybe I'm tired, or PMSing, or struggling with a 'bad mood' (our code for 'My mental issues are making themselves noticeable') and I just wanna sit and read or watch TV or SOMETHING other than clean. This never lasts more than a week but he always seems to find the time in that week to magically give a fuck about his house and bitches at me for not washing dishes or taking out the trash or 'Why don't you ever do anything!"
I'm lazy, i admit. I'm a procrastinator but fuck you. if it wasn't for me this place would be a sty (I know what his house looked like before I lived here) and I know I don't always have the place spotless but I do more than him in terms of house care. I'm the one that picks his underwear off the bathroom floor. Collects the dirty socks that he takes off and leaves EVERYWHERE, or his work pants that he takes off and drops wherever. I'm the only one that cares for the cats needs, I'm the only one that cleans the hair out of the drain and yet he will shave over the sink and leave ALL of the hair, no attempt to clean it he just leaves it!
All I ask is that he doesn't bitch at me for not cleaning. That's all i ask. he's such a fucking hypocrite! I will do all of this, just don't fucking rush me. if I want to sit on my ass all day and then clean everything at midnight then i will fucking do that thank you very much. I have experimented before, purposely leaving things he left lying around and it's not long until he complains to me that his jeans are still in the middle of the living room floor. And god forbid i do the same and leave my jacket on the couch...don't complain to me I'd be picking it up anyway!
And today he's going to say "Whoever cooks, the other person has to do the dishes." because I've started forcing him to cook on his days off or if he get's home early from work. I will admit I do ask him to do dishes a lot but I hate doing dishes and it's not like I never do them. he never ever acknowledges that I do in fact do dishes whenever I clean the house.
Okay so my biggest issues I guess is him not ever recognizing what I do and only ever focusing on what I don't do or what he does. To him, him doing the dishes once is me not doing the dishes instead off the 'I did 3 loads of laundry, cleaned the living room and scrubbed the shower can you please do the dishes', that it actually is.
