Just leave it where he put it. He will eventually realize his clothes dont get cleaned unless in the hamper. If you keep picking it up you are doing it for you. He wont notice the difference and wont ever change.
@Chandra oh I’ve left his clothes before right where they were and they stayed there for WEEKS, and it just kept piling it up to😂 to the point where I ended up picking it up🥲
Take his clothes and throw them on him or place them somewhere where he wouldn’t think to look (he’ll go nuts searching when he needs something). If those two things don’t work, nag the hell out of him every 5 minutes until he picks it up himself. He’ll be annoyed at you, but he’ll get the point! OR you could express how stressed you are and how the little things really help you out and make you feel love and supported.
@Jessica omg sammme I stoped complaining and just get on with it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t pick it up. I refuse to. He got annoyed when he ran out of clean clothing which isn’t my problem if he can’t do a simple task for me. He’s now half learnt and puts it all on the bathroom floor 🙄 but at least it’s in one area compared to being scattered everywhere x
Your breaking point is before he doesn't have clean clothes. My mom had this issue with my dad.. she completely stopped touching his clothes, he had no clothes for work after a couple weeks and finally realized his mistake. And my mom let him know she was happier not doing his laundry and is all now his responsibility. It was then a rush for him to get his clothes cleaned up and into the machines before my mom cause she had her clothes and 7 kids clothes to wash, so he would be very diligent. Saved a lot of marriage fights
Don't wash it. If its not IN the basket it's not getting washed. There might things i do that annoy my partner but one thing we don't do is knowingly inconvenience the other. You've had this conversation with him so he knows and he still does it. I'd let him know, "listen I've asked you and reminded you several times to put your clothes in the hamper but for whatever reason you keep throwing it on the floor with the expectation that I'll pick it because if I don't they do in fact just sit there. I won't bring this up again. All I'm going to say is that I'm only washing clothes that are in the hamper. If your clothes are on the floor and not in the hamper you'll have to wash them unless they get put in the hamper." That's it.
If it bugs you that much maybe implement a new rule, if he puts his clothes on the floor they go in the bin. But actually follow through. Maybe he’ll realise when he has to fish his stuff out the dustbin 😂 But for real, I generally second what everyone else says, don’t wash it. You caved too early last time. Leave it to the point where he has nothing to wear.
I mentioned this to an aunt once and she said, “ just be thankful you have someone to pick up after “ I don’t pick those battles anymore. Don’t sweat the small stuff
You gotta choose your battles. I used to complain and then realized I do shit that annoys my partner too. 🤷♀️ we each pick up the slack of the other - there's a good book called the 80/20 rule that you and your partner should check out!
