Relationships are the best. Imagine coming home to a surprise dinner, all your favorite dishes cooked lovingly by your partner. Afterwards, you enter your room to see it’s beautifully decorated to celebrate your success at work. Looks like a scene out of a movie, right?
While nice gestures are part of a relationship, they don't paint the entire picture. Partners need to put a whole lot of effort into day-to-day life as well. And sometimes they don't.
From neglecting to clean the sink post-shave to leaving dirty laundry around the house, husbands and boyfriends sometimes do things inefficiently. And while there’s not one correct way to do things, we at Bored Panda have put together complaints by women frustrated by their partner's incompetence at daily tasks.

Dog Destroyed Trim
I left my husband in charge of our dogs while the kids and I visited my family. He chose to stay at his brother's house and only let our dogs out once a day. Yesterday, he sent me this picture and proceeded to blame it on me.

Idk maybe he should show at least the tiniest amount of responsibility for animals that have to rely on him. Glad she didn’t leave the kids with him.

The very definition of a man-child. Hope she left him and took the dogs.
Every relationship has its own ups and downs. And sometimes constant complaining may create a negative atmosphere. However, not speaking up at all makes it difficult to connect on a deeper level with your partner. Imagine you keep shaking a bottle of fizzy soda. What happens when the pressure builds up? The bottle explodes.
Stephanie O'Leary, PsyD, practicing in Westchester, NY said, "Holding in feelings has a negative impact on mental and physical health. Short bursts of complaints are preferable so stress hormones don't build.”

Is he waiting for him mom to come clean it up? I would ask her some hard questions.
Mavis 1 year ago
Not a boyfriend, but a co worker of mine in a small office. He had worked the morning shift, I came in to do the afternoon shift, he left, and then I find that he has left his gross toenails in a little pile on the office desk. I didn't clean it up, I left them for him to discover the next morning when he came in and hopefully feel ashamed in the knowledge that I saw them and I know he's a pig. When I came in the next afternoon the toenails were gone and he didn't say a word.
It’s all about finding the right balance. Tina Gilbertson, a psychotherapist and the author of Constructive Wallowing, agrees. “Acknowledging feelings is healthy, it’s good for you physiologically and it’s good for your emotional health," she said.
Journaling is a good way to express what you are feeling. “If you're prone to holding things in and then having a rant, practice writing down what's bothering you at the end of the day, and if you see an issue show up two days in a row, know it's time to address it directly,” O'Leary said.

My Husband, The Love Of My Life, Decided To Trim His Hair This Morning Before Leaving For Work
I am really tempted to just ignore this and use a bidet and bath faucet and see how long this stays here.
Jaya 1 year ago
What kind of disfunctional relationships do all of you have, if instead of talking to your partner, you immediately jump to throwing it in your partner's computer/pillow/shoes? How about dealing with relationship issues in a constructive way instead of immediately going on the 'revenge' route?
whaaaaaaaaaa 1 year ago
These comments really are out of place. I don't think the decision of the woman in the post is though, unless this goes for more than a couple of days to just leave it there. But people saying to put it on his pillow or plate is insane. Maybe he was busy this morning. Sometimes I leave a mess before leaving the house but I clean it up once I'm back. But if my mess disturbed others and they told me about it I would try not to make it as much as possible, even if I'm late. Hence why it's important to communicate it instead as you said.

This is the equivalent of the drop of milk in the carton, put back in the fridge. My 12 yo godson did that to me - years ago.

After 3 times, he learned to tell me and toss the carton. I think this guy may be hopeless.

He doesn't want the freezer to accidently pop open for any reason. He's a keeper.

My Boyfriend Grabs A New Roll Before Finishing The Last One
Ken Beattie 1 year ago
Makes sense to grab a new roll before finishing the old one (don't want to get caught short), but you wouldn't USE the new roll until the old one is finished.
Ashleigh Alfred 1 year ago
Ugh my BF does this too. Not just with toilet paper either. We always have like 6 boxes of cereal opened instead of 1 or 2 and just finishing them. Or he leaves like 4 chips and 10 crumbs in a bag and puts it back... 🤦♀️

My Husband Put This Butter Container Back In The Refrigerator

Ah, but there's at least one slice's butter left here. Back of the knife and Bob's your aunty.

I know that this may seem like a pain in the a$$ but, leave the empties in the fridge and don't replace with new. Eventually, fridge will only have empties and you can say, "Oh, I thought we had that". Worked on my 3rd husband. He stopped leaving empty containers in the fridge/cupboards.

My late husband did this - with everything, mayo, ketchup, cheese. He insisted that we keep the empty containers - which never got used. Had to clear out under the sink every few months.

My Husband Kills The Bugs And Then Leaves Them Because He Thinks It Will Keep The Other Bugs Away

I think he is wrong. Many bugs are not averse to eating other bugs. So they may be attracted to his "offering".

My Boyfriend Lovingly Insists On Cooking Dinner On Mondays But Ends Up Leaving All Of His Dishes And Mess Behind Because He Has To Leave For His Weekly Chess Meet-Up
Don’t get me wrong, I love that he’s willing to cook dinner. He just always underestimates how much time he’ll need to cook and eat, leaving me to clean up the carnage. Every Monday, it’s the exact same thing.
Normally, we clean up together. This week’s mess was, honestly, pretty mild. There are usually food bits, spices, and many other things scattered around.

At least he's doing it himself and not leaving it to you. If the gift is thoughtful, who cares how neat the wrapping is?

The Way My Boyfriend Cuts Avocados
Natasha Arruda 1 year ago
A girl on Worst Cooks in America did this too. If I recall her name was Courtney. Her rational, if I'm remembering right was "Well, when you cut an egg you keep the yolk so we'll just leave it in there." After which, Bobby Flay complimented her on being able to perfectly cut the avocado pit then mash the tomatoes which look like she cut them with a spoon.

I sympathize with this one. I was stupid, 100% stupidity on my part, and I was trying to do a steam bake for bread. Used a glass dish got it nice and hot poured in the water to create steam and BANG!
