I have tried what seems like everything. We live together, and we have 2 very large dogs. We also have a 3, and 6 year old over every other weekend and Wednesday and Thursday.
I have tried everything, bribing him with sex etc. Nothing helps except me cleaning up all his messes. He is a great cook, but I wish he wouldn’t bother our kitchen gets so bad. Any ideas?
Also we have had that, "I can’t stand this mess anymore" talk several times.
leave his messes. It sucks but leave them. No words or anger needed. Just leave his stuff. Do not wash his clothes, do any dishes he ate out of, pick up his newspapers, stinky socks, raunchy unders, his coat, nothing. Leave all of it.
When he says anything, and he will, smile and say, "well, I thought you were adult enough to clean up after yourself."
Do not shout, yell, scream or anything. Also, smile even if it feels like its gonna kill you. He cannot function without clean clothes or dishes, etc. He will either offer to help or do it himself.
IF he still refuses, dump this sucker because your time and life is worth more than living with a slob for ever who is NOT adult enough to take care of himself and help you take care of the home you are building. This will bleed over into other areas of your life.
He is disrespecting you and the home you are trying to build.
