A dirty dish by the sink can be a big marriage problem
My relationship just ended for mostly similar reasons (it wasn&#x27;t <i>just</i> glasses in the sink, it was a few other things I did that she considered disrespectful that seemed minor to me)<p>I was the only one working and paying for the apartment, her hobbies, and school, but things like the above would escalate into long arguments that I would ask to defer. The problem was, I would sometimes forget details that were important to her if we postponed an argument for a few days, so she wanted to have them <i>now</i> and that was disruptive of my work (I WFH, she studies from home). I might miss an entire day of work because of some minor thing that exploded into a 6 hour argument, while I was trying to disengage the whole time, but couldn&#x27;t.<p>A couple weeks ago I had enough, and decided I needed more autonomy, and moved out. I didn&#x27;t want that to be the end of relationship, but for her it was the end.<p>Not sure what my point is, I just wanted to get it off my chest. Sometimes these seemingly minor things may just be a sign of deeper incompatibilities.
