Mans wife divorces him for leaving glass by the sink

quote:

Sometimes I leave used drinking glasses by the kitchen sink, just inches away from the dishwasher. It isn't a big deal to me now. It wasn't a big deal to me when I was married. But it was a big deal to her. Every time she'd walk into the kitchen and find a drinking glass by the sink, she moved incrementally closer to moving out and ending our marriage. I just didn't know it yet

Men want to fight for their right to leave that glass there. It might look like this: "Eat shite, wife," we think. "I sacrifice a lot for you, and you're going to get on me about ONE glass by the sink? THAT little bullshite glass that takes a few seconds to put in the dishwasher, which I'll gladly do when I know I'm done with it, is so important to you that you want to give me crap about it? You want to take an otherwise peaceful evening and have an argument with me, and tell me how I'm getting something wrong and failing you, over this glass? After all of the big things I do to make our life possible -- things I never hear a "thank you" for (and don't ask for) -- you're going to elevate a glass by the sink into a marriage problem? I couldn't be THAT petty if I tried. And I need to dig my heels in on this one. If you want that glass in the dishwasher, put it in there yourself without telling me about it. Otherwise, I'll put it away when people are coming over, or when I'm done with it. This is a bullshite fight that feels unfair and I'm not just going to bend over for you."
