It could just as easily be framed that women are raised and socialized to have unrealistic expectations for a partner.

I once asked my male partner to wipe down the bathroom counter because my grandparents were coming over. He did a bad job. I got upset about it. He said my expectations were too high. He had left a dead bug on the counter.

We absolutely do not have too high of expectations.

He did a bad job.

Sounds like his parents did a bad job at raising him.

You should probably align with him on what "clean" means. It probably means "cleaner" to him, whereas you meant "nigh impeccable" - your definition isn't bad; there's just a mismatch between both your understanding.

….theres a dead bug on the counter and you call this nigh impeccable?

I’m never eating dinner at your house

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No, I called her standard nigh impeccable, which should be the default. Having a dead bug is not "nigh impeccable".

Which part of my previous comment caused the confusion? Because now I'm confused on why people misunderstand my comment.
