It's amazing how solid communication can solve so many relationship problems.
But then, where can you find internet problems to watch from a distance?
It almost seems like a right of passage to find your way through these problems in your 20s.
For example, this story about a couple in their mid-20s whose laundry situation causes a bit of a stir.
Long story short, my (25') BF (26 m) had an important interview on Friday that could potentially start his career. He said he had been planning for about three weeks.
Usually I do all the laundry and take care of cleaning the apartment.
On Wednesday, he told me he wanted to wear a very special blazer, but it was in the trash to be washed.
I'm a full-time university student + part-time worker, so it's difficult to find time to go to the laundromat on weekdays, so I often do laundry on the weekends.
Here comes the red flag in this story…
But when I said we would do it on Thursday night, he said OK.
By the way, he just graduated from school in the fall semester, so he's not working, so his parents have been helping him pay his rent since the end of December until he gets a job.
Anyway Thursday was over and when I got home from class he was just playing video games and he immediately asked me when I was going to do the laundry because he was so nervous and wanted it to be perfect.
I was very tired at school and had an exam that he didn't even ask questions about, so I got annoyed and said I'll do it later, but I'm going to take a nap first, he said ok again, He plans to meet a friend for a drink to calm his nerves.
OP partially uses “being tired” as an excuse, but it sounds like she just didn't want to do it.
Anyway, as the title suggests, I ended up not doing laundry because I was tired and felt weak halfway through. He had such a bad attitude that in the end he wore the wrong one and said I had ruined him by not fulfilling what we had agreed to.
Even though I “tried to play airsoft” he said things were still going well, so I thought this might blow over, but he hasn't talked to him yet and I'm not sure if this is the case. I even said I might go with my parents. Was I really that ah?
The OP goes into a little more detail about what actually happened.
I went home and told him I was tired and asked if he could do it, but he started saying he promised. And since he already had plans with friends, he agreed again and then took a nap and overslept. When he woke up, he only had an hour left before the laundromat closed, so he still could have gone, but he would have been in a real hurry. And I was probably a little narrow-minded.
Let's see what people say.
This was pretty split, but I found very little YTA.
Some really couldn't get over this cocky attitude.
The other one leans towards NTA, but with a little caveat.
This person was pretty split down the middle.
Meanwhile, another person pointed out that both are trivial.
These two have a strong sense of belonging.
If you thought this was an interesting story, here's what happened when a family offered their in-laws a free place to stay in exchange for a babysitter, but things took a turn when they didn't keep up their end of the bargain. Please check.
