My ex-wife (emphasis on EX) would leave empty cups, bottles, candy wrappers, etc., in the door pockets and consoles of our cars. Used to drive me crazy. What's funny is that I spend a lot of time driving (I spent a LOT more time driving than her while we were married) and I would keep a plastic bag hanging from the glove compartment, and I would put any trash I made into it, then change it out the next time I stopped for gas. She would say to me THAT was "disgusting"! I was like, "b!tch, you have garbage all over your car. I have a garbage bag that I change out on a regular basis like a civilized human being!", and she thought I was being ridiculous.
She would criticize me for leaving a spec of toothpaste in the sink... meanwhile, her hairbrush, blow dryer, curling iron, EVERY SINGLE piece of makeup she had, were scattered all over the counter.
They're not just slobs. They're intolerable scolds, and it's because society has been telling them for 50 years now that they're "strong, independent women who are BETTER than men", and they don't need to lower themselves to cleaning up or caring what their partner thinks.
The odds of me ever getting married again - specifically because it seems almost ALL women are like this now - are incredibly small. I'm old enough now that I don't care. Fugg 'em.
