You know, it has taken me a long time, but I have eventually realised that what people say is hardly ever what they actually mean. Paradoxically, the better you know someone, and the better they know you, the less you should take what they say literally. And, in defence of Husband, I would argue that this applies equally to both men and women.
Plus, you can't really expect anyone to just say "Yes, no problem" when you point out that they need to drain a mouldy dishwasher, instead of putting their feet up and watching TV as they had planned. We all need to find someone to blame, for the terrible calamities that befall us.
but what I failed to mention is that he has been watching TV nonstop since last Friday so I don't think he had actually "planned" to be watching anything. It was more that anything that was on was going to be more important that draining a dishwasher, possibly including championship darts, a rerun of a 1987 Nascar race or the John Wayne movie "Tora, Tora, Tora" that he has seen 150 times.
Yes, well, be that as it may, it is not for me to become involved in a discussion about the deficiencies of your domestic arrangements. As you are discovering with your dogs, it all boils down to a matter of training them early, when they are young and docile, you have only yourself to blame if you find that through a lack of early discipline on your part you have ended up with a surly and intransigent house partner.
