Domestic Drama: Will He Step Up or Step Out? ♀️
In a tale as old as time, or at least as old as the invention of the washing machine, our heroine stands at a crossroads. To move in, or not to move in – that is the question that has her tossing and turning at night. She’s not looking for a prince to slay dragons, just a man who can separate his whites from his colors.

As she contemplates whether to don the apron of instruction or to hold out for a partner who’s got his chores down pat, the internet has rallied to her side with opinions aplenty. Let’s dive into the collective wisdom and see if they think she’s being fair or if she’s the villain in this domestic saga.
