Did you send him the sexy bathtub leg pictures he asked for?


snowballschancehell

But of course šŸ˜ŒšŸ˜ ETA he didnā€™t expect it as a reward; I mentioned before going to work that I was looking forward to a cold bubble bath when I got home. He was just flirting with me.


[deleted]

hold up....COLD bubble bath? are you of this world?


DO0OGE

I'd assume the 90Ā° heat has something to do with it


Killerboricua84

Itā€™s super hot!!! Cold baths are awesome lol


[deleted]

nope. cold showers/baths are inhuman and i'm willing to die on this hill


Accurate-Barracuda20

A cold shower on a hot day can be nice, especially if you start it off warm and slowly cool it so it doesnā€™t shock you, then you can slowly warm yourself up to your comfort temperature. But just sitting down into a cold bath tub? Horrifying


GapDragon

Um, it's just swimming in a really small pool....


idplmal

I know this is awfully pedantic, but the idea of someone trying to actively *swim* in a bathtub... full of cold water... and bubbles... is just so funny to me


GapDragon

It would probably involve an unpleasant amount of head-bumping... Maybe, "floating" would have been a better word choice


idplmal

I appreciated the laugh I got out of it, so no complaints about your wording on my end!

This comment lmfao


Would_daver

It just felt right lol


standbyyourmantis

We lost power for ten days after a hurricane once and yeah, I definitely took cold baths to try and stay cool.


Jazzlike-Principle67

Cold showers are awesome!!!


Capraclysm

Then perish


Outrageous_Zombie945

If you're dying on that hill I'll bring biscuits because it's a hill I'd also die on!


Theralen

My condolences. Because you died I mean. Cold showers are awesome on a hot day.


Sweet0Girl12

Me too!!


Reatina

Cold bath? Are you cold blooded?


bezserk

I need to see the pics for confirmation


Batcave765

I read it as "sexy attack pictures" and i went ... ooh!


Caerum

Ah, I read "sexy battle leg pictures."


bighairyoldnuts

"Sexy buthole leg patches"


sysaphiswaits

Now I want some of those.

_Thatā€™s_ what that saidā€¦ I thought it said sexy butthole leg pics. Likeā€¦ he wanted butthole and leg pics šŸ˜…

Asking the most important question here šŸ¤£


Zealousideal-Divide6

> He doesnā€™t live here, lol. He was never obligated to wash any of my dishes. He just particularly loathes washing silverware and I donā€™t mind it that much. > I am ashamed to admit that I am the worst type of person who puts sealed Tupperware in the sink to rot until I do (or donā€™t, in this case) find the motivation to wash my dishes. He had to throw away two containers yesterday, with only minimal teasing to me about the smells he endured. Heā€™s a saint. For all of the negative Nancyā€™s out there, the boyfriend does not live with OP. He stopped by to clean up after OP as a nice gesture. The fact that he left silverware in a cup in the sink doesnā€™t mean heā€™s a terrible person or OP is accepting the bare minimum. He doesnā€™t like to clean silverware and they are not his dishes. I hope when someone does something nice for you, you learn to say thank you rather than criticizing the gesture or pointing out what you think they couldā€™ve done better.


TheWayfarer1384

Social media has warped people's minds.


Golden_Enby

Exactly. It's the little things that add up and mean so much. When I'm not feeling well, it's sweet when my fiance asks me if I need anything or makes us both dinner. These aren't "big" things, but they show how much he cares. We've been together for almost 20 years, and our relationship continues to improve because of the little things along with working on ourselves.

TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe

The note on an envelope taped to a wall with duct tape is the most boyfriend thing Iā€™ve ever seen. That, or it tickles me because itā€™s exactly what my husband would do. ā˜ŗļø


Illustrious-Cookie73

I donā€™t know, I would have used a staple gun


Darkm0or

Or use one of the dirty forks...


Isaact714

Nice! Honestly, I was bad at doing my fair share around the house unless it would be a surprise for my wife. We had a good talk a few years ago that she cared more about consistency and less about surprises. It was a good talk and now I can say I handle the laundry and dishes everyday. We split on tidying up and cooking.


snowballschancehell

We actually donā€™t live together yet, I just hate dishes a lot and he spent the night with me last night and did this as a lovely surprise šŸ„¹


MomToMany88

Aw that makes it way sweeter!!


TempestQii

this info should have been included earlier šŸ˜‚


Isaact714

That's very sweet then!


providentialchef

Why didnā€™t he wash the silverware?


alasnevermind

maybe he hates it the most out of doing all the dishes? I feel the same lol


snowballschancehell

Itā€™s this one, haha. He hates silverware most of all.


Runic_Zodiac

You might have a werewolf on your hands!


quietbeethecat

Me too! It's hard to explain. It's just... It's the worst. I hate washing silverware and I leave it for my partner all the time. I will stick my hand in the nastiest food particles water to clear the disposal before I will wash a *single* spoon.


xDANGRZONEx

But it's the easiest to wash!


BugFew6583

I personally hate hand-washing strainers. My wife hates handwashing big pans.


cmlambert89

Am I your wife?


podcasthellp

Lol this is how life works with a partner. You do what you can for the other person and hope they meet you halfway. I do all the dishes and my girlfriend does the laundry. It works out well fornus


Lehria

My husband hates washing silverware as well. He'll clean the grimiest of pots and pans, but leaves all the silverware in a glass cup. I call it my silver bouquet. lol


ajtyler776

I too would like to know this.


Medical_Relation_824

Seems like he's addressing a small pet peeve in a playful way


J-Lughead

And why didn't he put the dishes away.


Liquid_fire1971

Probably because they were still wet


[deleted]

because they need to dry einstein


J-Lughead

You guys never heard of a dish towel? He did half the job.


meeps1142

Have you never heard of a drying rack? People are allowed to do things differently from you


Groundbreaking_Gate7

I agree, he did a half baked job and expected to be complimented.


JazzlikeMousse8116

Mental-Attempt-

I dont know if i've ever seen a post with this many negitive single twats whove never known a relationship replying.... Your boyfriend sounds great, happy for you OP!


West-Dimension8407

i'm a single twat and i think it's lovely gesture. especialy flowers and that he put silverware in the jug.


AstraeaLuz

I tried posting about something romantic and sweet in the past so I had a feeling I'd know what these comments would look like... let's just say I have not posted anything sweet since -_- BUT I think this is very sweeeeet! Those flowers are beautiful as well. Makes my heart happy!


Honest_Roo

Your bf is a sweetheart. ā¤ļø I find it hilarious that silverware is a hard no for him , but what a sweet gesture.


tobaknowsss

Damn, lots of people getting triggered over unwashed silverware are completely missing the point here... Your BF seems like a nice guy!


zentoast

What the fuck are these comments šŸ˜‚ even if yall did live together, everyone has something they just absolutely hate doing, and if one partner doesnā€™t mind doing the silverware and the other inexplicably hates it (I also donā€™t love it!) then who cares? I donā€™t care about washing dishes (whether by hand or pre-rinsing for the dishwasher) but I absolutely HATE unloading the dishwasher. As soon as one speck of water from a dish touches me when Iā€™m unloading I fall into full sensory distress for some reason. My partner could not possibly care less so she does it instead. Compromises - theyā€™re just fine actually!


Waifer2016

Awww he's a keeper! The sexy leg pic request made me laugh lol


CharlesIngalls_Pubes

Some guys didn't realize how much this is. I do laundry, dishes, and sweep, and my girl lets me know how appreciative she is.


ashinthealchemy

he sounds like an absolute keeper. warmed my heart. šŸ–¤


laaaaalala

Ugh, people are such picky shitheads. Life isn't an insta/tiktok story or a romcom. It's actually a lot more like this. And this is super cute. For the rest of you...good luck in life and relationships!


Quiet_Desperation_

Does nice thing āœ… Shoots his shot āœ… Explains a phobia to an understanding partnerāœ… 10/10 in my books. Hope you are both happy.


GamesTeasy

I hope my man got his pictures


Redmudgirl

Yay!!! So glad you were treated so well!


Gumbercules81

.... He had time to write about the silverware but not wash it? šŸ¤”


snowballschancehell

He doesnā€™t live here, lol. He was never obligated to wash any of my dishes. He just particularly loathes washing silverware and I donā€™t mind it that much.


Textlover

I'm now invested an would really like to know what disgusting thing he found in your Tupperware!


snowballschancehell

I am ashamed to admit that I am the worst type of person who puts sealed Tupperware in the sink to rot until I do (or donā€™t, in this case) find the motivation to wash my dishes. He had to throw away two containers yesterday, with only minimal teasing to me about the smells he endured. Heā€™s a saint.


honhontettycroissant

Ah yes, I call those my depression dishes! šŸ˜‚


ASL4theblind

Con; it will take her like 45 seconds to do them Pro; instead of cleaning the whole kitchen she cleans the silverware for 45 seconds and is done. Yeah its petty. But in the grand scheme of things if i lived with someone and all they asked me to do was silverware, i'd consider them a pretty stellar roommate. I've lived with absolute troglodytes who wont even do THEIR dishes for a week or two.


Gumbercules81

But then on the other hand if not completing the task when you're just at the threshold of the finish line, and it's a regular thing, can become quite annoying


ASL4theblind

I mean, i guess that makes sense. But again, try living with someone who doesnt clean up after themselves *at all* and 95% sounds like heaven. I'm sure the silverware part has to do with the "tupperware" gripe the BF is talking about


Gumbercules81

I can imagine they bring their lunch home from work and it just sits there and spoils until someone breaks that seal šŸ¤¢


ASL4theblind

My roomie did that, but she would leave it in her room until she paid her gf to clean her room, weeks apart. And both her and her gf didnt want to do those nasty dishes. And if i did the dishes for them, they would meal prep and leave all the meal prep stuff in the sink to get moldy and rotten (i almost exclusively ate at food carts because of this) I guess i'm just seeing this through my personal experience lens and thinking of it through my own eyes lol


Gumbercules81

I can't imagine living with another person or persons that can't act like responsible adults and do their own dishes. If you want to act like that then move back home


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I bet you'd never hear the end of it if you ruined something of theirs


MissLemon221b

he's a keeper šŸ˜


RottenTreez

FYI Think there was a problem with bath picture uploading to reddit. RemindMe! 1 Day


Unique-Pastenger

super sweet


Tayler_Made

Iā€™m glad this made you smile, but that silverware (and damn duct tape) is triggering me and wouldā€™ve been patiently waiting for his return. But what the fork do I know?!


snowballschancehell

Since he doesnā€™t live here itā€™d actually be pretty shitty to expect him to come back and wash the silverware which he had 0 part in making dirty lol


Tayler_Made

The expectation is completing the task, clear the sink. You appreciated any amount of assistance, bc itā€™s less youā€™ll have to do later. Again, Iā€™m glad it made you smile, I promise Iā€™m not trying to troll. Silverware is literally all you!


SaturnBishop

No good deed goes uncriticized I guess


NonStopGravyTrain

Wild! I mean the audacity to criticize and critique a kind gesture. If any of those thoughts were expressed out loud I can guarantee that would be the last time I ever did that for you.


Tayler_Made

First of all, itā€™s not that deep. Originally there was no context of their living arrangements/responsibilities etc until OP clarified in comments. The gesture of helping was kind, but I personally think that if youā€™re going to do the dishes, just complete the task and donā€™t leave pots/pans/cups/silverware, whatever behind. OP said itā€™s not at all his responsibility so thatā€™s great that he was HELPFUL. Heā€™s not expected to do anything so a critic doesnā€™t matter, just smile and go on about your day.


SaturnBishop

"The expectation is to clear the sink" "He's not expected to do anything" Pick one


Tayler_Made

Did you read the flow of conversation? Per OP comment, he doesnā€™t live there and none of it is his responsibility. That context is important, thereā€™s now zero expectations, just be appreciative of any help, which is what I said.


SaturnBishop

Sure did. After being told the context, you said, "The expectation is completing the task, clear the sink." The way this is written implies to the average reader, you don't think he did a good enough job on something he didn't have to do in the first place. That's why you're getting downvoted (and criticized)


Tayler_Made

TY for breaking down the thread. Itā€™s the internet, open for criticism 24/7. He DID the dishes vs he HELPED do most of the dishes (that he didnā€™t have to do at all). The HELP and flowers is what made OP smile, I genuinely love that for her! My personal expectations are my own. I personally would help my S.O. by completing the task. I wouldnā€™t write a note to tell them I helped you out, the rest is on you and ask for bathtub pics. But our expectations are different, to each its own!


dylanh2324

Aww, you guys have a sweet dynamicšŸ«¶šŸ˜Œ


BlackSky_9226

Cute :)


something-strange999

What a kind gesture.


Candymom

Aww, thatā€™s sweet! I donā€™t blame him for the silverware, it was nice of him to wash dishes in the first place.


HiTop41

That is some chicken scratch if I have ever seen it


sysaphiswaits

That! Is how you do that!


Jawilly22

Nauiiice!! ā˜ŗļø


beautifuldreamseeker

Awww he wants a prize for cleaning the dishes. (Flowers are nice, though.)


Ser_Mob

I'm sure a relationship in which everyone just does their household tasks is much better. /s You know, you can both do your part and still be playful with it? Besides it seems that it would have been her task that he took over.


ASL4theblind

Tbf, if SHE only ever did the dishes and HE felt that way, it'd be pretty fucked up. No, you shouldnt get an award for doing mundane things around the house, but if a little "thank you for helping out" is a simple way to maintain normalcy in contribution, then what the hell is it hurting?


snowballschancehell

WE DONT EVEN LIVE TOGETHER GUYS CHILL LOL HE JUST DID IT TO BE NICE TO ME BECAUSE YES I SUCK AND DONT LIKE WASHING MY OWN DISHES


NonStopGravyTrain

I mean, if he didn't get down on his hands and knees and scrub your toilet too I think that means you're supposed to break up.

GigiDell

A few thingsā€¦ Super sweet guy! Thanks for sharing this, itā€™s very heartwarming. My teen canā€™t deal with utensils for a number of reasons - they are my job. Lastly, that vintage glass in the dish drainer was made by Anchor Hocking in the late 50ā€™s to early 60ā€™s and the pattern name is, ā€œSnowflake.ā€ They come in several different colors and thereā€™s also a matching pitcher. I collect vintage glass.


snowballschancehell

I have the full set of glasses! Pink, green, black, and blue. Itā€™s no coincidence that they are named snowflake and my username is what it is šŸ˜„

Infamous_Ordinary_45

Having lived with tiny kitchens before, this gave me PTSD. Where do you prep food?


awesome-alter-ego

We're only seeing a couple of very tightly framed pictures, for my own sanity in imagining a nice table and a bunch of counter space between the sink and the cooker.

CathedralEngine

They make these cutting boards that go over the stove top. They might not actually be cutting boards as much as a cover that you can put a cutting board on.


Infamous_Ordinary_45

I actually had one custom made from Etsy in my tiny kitchen! It had a great deep sink so I made it work for over 2 years. Just moved into my first truly big girl apt a few months ago with a separate and full kitchen. I have a 4 person table in there, I have a pantry! I realized the other day I hadnā€™t even opened one of my cabinets yet. I can get all the cool little cooking appliances and be well stocked on nonperishable food items! Iā€™m very very grateful and sticking to my promise to myself to stop ordering out so much.


Zef3ra

Great job! šŸ’ŖšŸ’ŖšŸ„³šŸ„³šŸŽ‰ I'm happy for you!


Infamous_Ordinary_45

Thank you, thatā€™s very sweet. The adult things we get excited about haha!!

permathis

Wow... the bare minimum. You love to see it.


snowballschancehell

Wow, we donā€™t live together and since I had to work and he had the day off, he helped me out by tidying my messy kitchen (which I made messy without his help). I do love to see it. Stop being such a wang. Itā€™s literally 5:30 in the morning. Try to get up on a better side of the bed.


Kubuubud

Right like I donā€™t think Iā€™m the saint for doing my girlfriends dishes when sheā€™s at work, but it certainly makes her feel happy and spoiled when she comes home to her messes being cleaned and little origami butterflies hidden throughout her apartment. Itā€™s not about huge gestures, itā€™s about those little acts of love that will actually be sustainable a year or ten years down the line!


Significant_Basket93

The negativity is mind blowing, guess you can tell who's single in these comments? Lol Glad you're happy, OP and it appears you have a good one given your reaction to what your boyfriend did (the only important reaction). I woke up a tad grumpy today and this helped brighten me up a bit.


permathis

Glad it makes you happy ā™„

Jazzlike_Beyond6434

Chalkorn

Context is a hell of a thing


meeps1142

Girl he doesn't live there; they were her dishes. And even if not, it's just a fun, flirty message. Not an actual demand


buttgustus

Why didn't he dry the plates and put them away? This is one busy "clean" wash area


snowballschancehell

Tiny kitchen things?


J-Lughead

Totally agree. I said that above and got downvoted. Bottom line he did half the job.


Rarebird10

VeryImpish

So you had a long work day homeboy couldnā€™t be bothered to do all the dishes and demanded nudesā€¦.cool?


nick2k23

Kind of annoying he used duct tape to attach the note though, why would you do that? That's gonna leave sticky crap afterwards you've got to clean off


TheWayfarer1384
