At least when you kill bad guys and dragons, they stay dead. The trouble with folding dishes and washing clothes is that it keeps needing to be done.

And even novice necromancers can only raise a body once according to the rules I’ve made up just now
And more expirence necromancers can raise bodies more times, but eventually they’ll get discouraged

Welcome to being human, adulthood and cleaning up after yourself.
My story's infinite. Like the laundry, it's infinite, it doesn't rest.
Sisyphus, that bastard with his tasks!
And you cant defeat that boss, no no, that boss is well beyond epic tier and you have to game the system to defeat him.
Which.. women pick up. Because it happens more than enough.
One of these days I'm going to finally win at cooking so that I don't need to do it ever again, which will also cover dishes. Then it's time to really grind laundry until I do the same there. Don't give up!

this is probably what meat loaf meant when he said he won't do that
Today, my partner, who took a week off work to play video games, asked me if I was going to do the grocery shopping.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Hey, they took that week off to play video games, not to go grocery shopping.
My blood boils for you
If you said no, do you think they would have done the groceries?
Have they done the same amount of chores at home during their vacation, than they would do when they are working? I dont think one person being on the vacation should mean they need to do every chore at home.
If they have done less than normally then i fully understand the frustration, but if they have done their part, or more than that i think its selfish to think that they should be doing everything.

Wow. I'm sure plenty of folk here are high-fiving this guy for what they strangely perceive as just a dude living his best life, but personally I think that's selfish AF.

Folding laundry is basically like fighting a dragon. These damn fitted sheets, man.
But I gotta do what I gotta do. These dragons aren't gonna fight themselves.

sexism intensifies
Solution, get you a girl that's messier than you. My house is a shit hole, but we are still in love.
That worked fine until kids, now it's like trying to manage a barn
I haven't gone that far yet, I always imagined a cordoned-off area of safety. I'm just now realising how stupid I was. I hope you all make it. 🫶

How often will you ever fight a dragon? Once, maybe?
Fuck folding sheets because someone else wants it done, 3 times a week for the next 40 years.
Not even close to being the same.
Who is washing sheets 3 times a week? I can see once a week, but more than that is too much.
I mean, if I had to fight a dragon, it definitely wouldn't happen more than once
3 times a week... you're showing your relationship issues a bit there by not knowing how basic human chores work.

It's kinda nice if you consider the electrical box or the unmowed lawn as a dragon.

I do all the laundry, clean the kitchen and empty/fill the dishwasher. I've got a bit of a routine and it works. She cooks and does the bathrooms. Division of labour is the key. Took us a few years and many arguments to settle into our lanes and now it's fine.
the battle lines were drawn with soap

I would also fold clothes and wash dishes for her.
For you.
For both of you.
It's not 'for her'
She's not your mommy manager.
I beg to differ. I would not fold clothes for me. All of my clothes are in a storage tub unfolded. I'd do it for someone I care about though. I like the sound of mommy manager.
There aren't many dragons around here. We're too quiet to attract the attention of bad guys. However, I both do laundry and load the dishwasher. I'm also the cook. Been doing this since well before I retired. One of my sociology students actually told me it was "gay."
Found her husband?
