Ugghh, a little annoyed...

cloudymeatballs · September 2013

I'm a little annoyed. My husband and I went on a vacation together. He asked me to pack for him since he was busy with work. So cool, no prob. We have an awesome time on our vacation. We get home, he hasn't unpacked. It has been sitting her now for 3 days. I am guessing he wants me to do it. I want to just because it, the mess, is bugging me. But I don't want to just because, its his stuff! Sorry, just venting a little. Not a big deal. Just a little annoyed with it.

So.... tell him it's time for him to unpack.

Sometimes I have this problem with hubby too. It is annoying but there are other times he turns the table and unpacks and does laundry as soon as we come home from a trip. So I can't really complain about this articular issue.......but there are quite a few others that he needs to fix...lol

Well it just so happens by chance you haven't been able to wash underwear for a couple days.

Hubby is the same way. I decided it wasn't a hill to die on so I just unpack it for him and make him 'pay me back' in bed later

We have a "system" for packing when going away.

I make sure all the clothes are clean and ready to go. We each lay out what we want to bring and DH packs the bags.

When coming home DH packs up all the dirty stuff and keeps it separate from what we didn't wear. When we get home he brings the suitcases to the laundry room and then I do the laundry.

13 years of marriage we have done this and it works for us.

I'm definitely the one in our relationship that drives my H crazy by not unpacking/putting things away/etc. It's not that I want him to do it, it's just that it's not that important to me (and I really HATE unpacking things.) Ultimately he either shames me into cleaning it up or does it himself. But on the flip side I'm the one who does ALL the actual cleaning in our house. I scrub and dust and vacuum and wipe and all that good stuff, because he doesn't care as much about any of that.

I think the key is that if it bugs you... SAY SOMETHING! He probably doesn't mean to annoy you.

I hate unpacking. I have been known to wait so long that I only unpacked because I needed to pack the same bag for another trip.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that he wants/expects you to do it. It's quite possible it just doesn't bother him, so you should probably politely mention that it does bother you.

I did mention it to him. Obviously the mess doesn't bother him, it drives me nuts. I'm a lil obsessed with keeping things tidy. He was tired again from work so I just did it this morning. He will handle something later for me I guess. Lol, choose my battles..

That is one thing I am slowly learning.

I just put whatever it is in Hs closet and shut the door. He will get to it eventually.
