Am I wrong for getting upset at my boyfriend over walking on a floor I just cleaned?

[Anonymous]

This sounds dumb butttt … I spent an hour or so cleaning the bathroom including the bathroom floor. Then my boyfriend went in there with his dirty flip-flops on and of course dirtied the floor (which is white so every mark is clearly visible - floor colour not my choice but my stupid landlord). Then he left the fricking toilet seat up after me having asked him several times to put the thing down. Why do men do this? He didn’t apologise for messing up the floor; he just said, it’s gonna get dirty again anyway. I said ‘yes but I JUST cleaned it!!’. And I told him beforehand as normal not to go in there with any kind of shoes on because it’s wet and I just cleaned it. It’s just disrespectful to me, like he doesn’t value the work I put it to make sure our flat isn’t a mess. Of course his level of ‘clean’ is lower than mine. But I think if he had to do the things I do to keep our environment nice, organised and clean, he’d think twice about messing something up I just did, and putting the f*cking toilet seat down!! I feel like this is a rant but I got upset by it for a reason I suppose. Am I crazy? I am PMSing right now but I still think I have a reason to be upset. Also, any men out there, do you put the toilet seat down?

The timeframe between the moment you finished cleaning the floor and it becoming dirty once again is irrelevant. That floor was cleaned, but it will not remain clean indefinitely. The toilet seat should neither be up or down when done being used. It should be closed to prevent bacteria spreading through the air while you flush. Understanding the basics of hygiene will not only help you but those around you as well.
Hope this helps!

Well yes this is why I like it to be closed. And also there’s a medicine cabinet above the toilet so if you open it and something falls out…

Wtf he is just an asshole.
He clearly doesn't value your hardwork. He don't even know how to make House clean. stay clean. Oh god r u his girlfriend or house maid?

[Asker]

I’m his girlfriend. But sometimes I guess us girls fall into the ‘cleaning’ role when even the guy wants to split the work 50/50 (what my beau ended up saying).

[Sam_The_Savage]

But girl you're his girlfriend than he should treat you like queen or say girlfriend. Not like a House maid.

I'm surprised why you are not taking stand for your self-respect.

I suggest getting him a new pair of flip flops and then next time make him put those on instead of the dirty ones.

Nothing like choosing your battles... you sound like a delight.

[Asker]

As do you.

[spartan55]

You want to run him off, keep it up.

[Asker]

Wow. You don’t get it. If you’re not going to offer helpful advice which this space is for, kindly go away. Thanks.

[spartan55]

What am I not getting? I gave you helpful advice. If you are going to bitch about things like the toilet seat being up expect him to get tired of it

You’re on the rag

That’s a man’s way of negating how women feel. Stop it now.
