AITA for telling my husband I don’t enjoy doing his laundry???

She carries the weight of relentless days, balancing the demands of full-time work and school, chasing a dream that feels just within reach.

Yet, beneath the surface of her exhaustion lies a quiet plea for understanding and support from the one she vowed to share her life with.

Despite her honest conversations and a hopeful list of ch**es, her husband’s fleeting efforts leave her drowning in loneliness and frustration.

The love that once felt like a shared journey now feels like a solitary battle, where her needs are overlooked amid the chaos of their everyday lives.

When the Crowd Speaks, It Echoes Loudly:

Users didn’t stay quiet — they showed up in full force, mixing support with sharp criticism. From calling out bad behavior to offering real talk, the comments lit up fast.

The original poster (OP) is experiencing significant stress due to balancing full-time work and school, leading to feelings of exhaustion and resentment over the unequal division of household labor.

The central conflict arises because the husband feels deprived of physical affection, which he views as a core expression of love, while the OP sees the failure to complete agreed-upon ch**es as a significant breach of commitment and a barrier to intimacy.

When one partner prioritizes emotional or physical needs (affection/love language) while the other is overwhelmed by tangible burdens (ch**es/labor), which imbalance causes greater relationship harm: the unmet need for physical touch, or the unfulfilled promise of shared domestic responsibility?

Should the OP apologize for expressing her frustration about the ch**es, or is her response justified given the broken agreement?
