Wife refuses to go home after husband fails to clean
A wife left her husband at home while she and their child went to camp. She had cleaned the house and prepared freezer meals for him before leaving. When she returned, she found the house in a total mess. Her husband had done nothing while she was away, and the garden had not been watered, and the package she wanted to be sent out was still on the kitchen counter. Angry at her husband’s behavior, she and her child checked into a hotel, refusing to go back home until the house was back to how she left it. Her husband complained, saying that it wasn’t that bad and that they had to split the cleaning. This led to a heated argument, and now she’s asking whether she was wrong not to do her half of the chores when she got back. Who’s right in this situation? Read on for comments and reactions.
