Hi all, I feel like this is a pretty common problem for most couples. I 22F am engaged to my partner 22M and I truly love him so dearly. But he will not clean. Every time I ask to clean he does this infuriating little whine like a child but then gets all pouty and cleans. I asked today to clean together because we live in a studio and he was just like what even needs cleaning. It is the root cause of probably 80% of our fights and I cannot take it. I was raised in a neglectful home that was filthy and I will not let myself get to that place again. I am by no means a neat freak but he just doesn’t see things that very obviously need doing ie: clothes all over the floor, dirty dishes just everywhere, a pretty good layer of dog hair and dust. I am not his mother and this is not fair. I’m at my wits end. Please reddit help
