It’s so satisfying to do something well. But how do you feel when you think you did a good job and someone criticizes it?

In today’s story, a man vents that when he does the dishes, his girlfriend inspects them to see if she can approve his job or not.

It’s getting on his nerves, and he called her out on it. But is he in the wrong for being so bothered by this?

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I won’t do dishes anymore if she keeps double-checking my work?

We moved in together last month.

She likes to cook and is good at it, so our original agreement was she would cook and I would do the dishes. That’s fair.

Except that every single time I did the dishes, she would pretty much “check” on my work, like following behind me after I started the load.

This feels offensive to him.

And sometimes she would unload it and reload it the way she thought it was appropriate.

And whenever I was hand washing, she always insisted on being there and inspecting everything that wasn’t up to her standard.

So I finally had enough and told her that I won’t be doing dishes anymore if that’s how things will go.

Things got tense.

Or I can cook for myself and do my own dishes that she won’t get to touch (she can have her separate dishes).

She said she was just trying to be helpful and that I was rude and sort of an ******* for what I said and the way I said it.

AITA?

Where’s his sense of humor? Geez.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this.

Questions, so many questions.

Yup.

He needs to consider this.

Another reader shares their opinion.

It’s simple!

A wife shares her experience.

At least now she knows what she’s dealing with before closing the deal.
