Would love your take on this HOT debate between me and my ex. He moved into my house (there 5+ years at this time) and our belongings were 90% mine, including the vacuum, pots and pans, furniture,bedding, etc. At the time I had two dogs, 1 being a Labrador. I think it’s common knowledge how much labs shed, but for the lab people, I had a cross between a lab and a golden. Long hair everywhere 24/7. I would vacuum nearly every day. Either a small spot or a quick whole house zoom had to happen daily. Literally, no choice. Because of this amount of use, I rarely put the vacuum away with the cord “wound up” correctly. Instead I would loop de loop it into itself and hang it on the top cord hook. In general, i dont put things away “lazily” but as this wasn’t a self retracting cord(old school hotel vacuum) and it lived out of sight in the garage, it was just more convenient to keep it “ready to go”. Back to said boyfriend. When he moved in he had a lot to say about how things were done. He was in the Navy and had a lot of good skills and kept house better than any man Ive lived with. Most of his suggestions were offered kindly. The vacuum cord issue was a problem till the end, however. He would go out of his way to wind it the “correct way” if i hadn’t, as well as wind it “his way” when he used it; despite the fact that I had expressed my preference and asked that he leave it “loose”. He was very bothered by it not being done “right” and it was brought up in the house often how it should be left as the kids used the vacuum too. AITAH because I wanted the cord left loose so it was easier to access? Notes: This relationship is over but I’m still irked over this. I have been single for years and sometimes when these things come to mind, i do want to know if it’s something i should work on before my next relationship. Thanks in advance for kind, helpful thoughts!
