Like I said...

It wasn't so bad, at first. You know how it is during the "honeymoon period": you put on your best face, dress to impress and keep yourself on the best behavior. When that started to go away, we ran into each other's quirks, no biggie... but this, this is something I can't live with. My mum spent her entire life toiling after my dad in addition to working full-time and, y'know, being a mum. It wrecked her health, her morale and her self-esteem. I don't want to end up like that.
Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "messy" when "pigsty" is more appropriate. No joke. Remember when I said he doesn't clean after himself when he cooks? I mean his rubbish stays there
for days - until it rots away. We had to throw out our last rubbish bin because it was infested with maggots thanks to his habits. Yesterday he came to get me and said "Honey, there's some spilled milk on the floor." I looked at him and asked him why didn't he clean it himself. He said, "Well, now that you know about it, why don't you do it?" Seriously,
that is not OK.
I'd love to compromise, but being a housemaid isn't what I signed up for and he knows that, yet he keeps being like that.
