Household chores should be shared fairly in a relationship.

The following story involves a wife who felt frustrated after years of doing more of the laundry than her husband.

After being hospitalized for weeks, she came home to find her clothes washed but left unfolded.

Her husband gave a few lame excuses why he didn’t fold them, so now she’s thinking about doing the same thing.

Read the full story below for all the details.

AITAH for not wanting to fold my husband’s laundry anymore?

We have been together for 8 years. We have been married for 4.

Of those 8 years, we have always done our laundry together.

We would wash and dry it, and then both fold it.

This woman was hospitalized, and her husband washed her clothes but didn’t fold them.

Over the years, I (31F) find myself folding more of our laundry more often than he (32M) does.

The final straw for me was when I was hospitalized for 3 weeks.

When I finally got home, he had only folded his clothes.

He had washed mine, but he left them in the basket unfolded.

He said he did not know where I put mine and he did not know how I liked them folded.

So now, she’s wondering if it’s okay not to fold her husband’s clothes, too.

I fold my clothes pretty normally.  They are folded the same as his.

Also, I only have 8 drawers. They are pretty easy to see into.

You can see what is in them.

So, AITA for not wanting to fold my husband’s clothes?

Marriage is about give and take, and this includes laundry and folding clothes.
