Can we require women to take a dishwasher loading class before marriage?

Seriously. I love my wife more than life itself but no matter how many times I show her how the same set of dishes fits nicely into the dishwasher so they turn out perfect.......
She'll throw the silverware into the top rack in a giant wad, ignore the section where you can perfectly stack 10 bowls and my favorite.. Just toss in that massive pot still half full of spaghetti and sauce.
I try to be sweet boy cad and unload the dishwasher and I'm greeted to a crime scene in the morning and she'll walk by and comment "I think we need a new dishwasher there's food all over everything and nothing is clean"
as I'm dumping out the plastic bowl that's half full of dishwasher water and random strands of floating spaghetti.
In every other aspect she's perfect and keeps the house clean enough to do surgery but damn...I don't get the dishwasher thing at all.

That and a "clean as you go" class while cooking

My wife's dishwasher issue is once she places an item, it's there and set in stone. There are no rearrangements to accommodate newer items into the load.

It's wild. I've been told before that they won't get clean if you nest them as the machine is designed to do. Also, they never seem to grasp that if you rinse and give a cursory wipe before putting them in, the dishwasher won't smell like death from disgusting food remnants.

Methinks you’ve been cleverly hoodwinked into being in charge of dishwashing.
Kudos to her.

We rinse everything with hot water before loading. It looks clean going in. I hurts me to picture half full pots going in to be washed.

We alternate dishwasher responsibility. Your job is to get the sink empty, whether that's hand wash or one or more loads in the dishwasher. No bickering over how the other person loads.

I think I'm going to delete Zillow from her phone and replace it with Tetris

I may have broached this subject in error last night.

Used to be mandatory ... the good old days.

You can try not bothering yourself with how your wife does her chores, it might make you a happier person.

There was a Sonic commercial a few years back with two fat Karens in the car stuffing their faces. Between inhaling tots, one quipped that she intentionally loaded the dishwasher the wrong way just to get her husband to do it.
I believe they do it intentionally.

My wife takes it a step further by re-arranging everything like she knows what she’s doing, only to see I had it right the first time. And of course sticks to her guns and wont admit her way sucks

she gets her feelings hurt if she catches me taking everything out, rinsing them and reorganizing. It's like I just just spit on her dinner.

I assume my wife purposefully fricks this up in the same way that I do laundry "incorrectly" so that I'm not asked to do it ever

This is wild. I have the same experience. As OCD as she is about everything else in the house, the dishwasher is some mystical enigma that can't be solved. Its actually pretty amazing.
I grew up handwashing dishes before putting them in the "dishwasher". We've had the "dishwasher is broken" conversation before in which I had to demonstrate that some prewashing is necessary.

There will be nothing you can do about this. It's not fixable; move on.

I think we're married to the same woman.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell her if you cover the spray arm, nothing is getting clean. She still doesn't get it.
