Also let's stop using ableist phrases like "dirt blindness." Disabled women spend more time on housework (around 6 percentage points more), childcare and other unpaid work than non-disabled women.

Women do 7 hours more housework tasks than men - not counting the extra emotional labour women do on top. Most of the work that's outsourced is typically the work that men do. "Men aren’t penalised for messiness in the same way that women are." https://theconversation.com/sorry-men-theres-no-such-thing-as-dirt-blindness-you-just-need-to-do-more-housework-100883 … #sociology

Great article. My husband is quite helpful, too, but still - and the just emotional labour of how carefully men need to be talked to is wearing.

Yup. My partner is too, but I don't think he realizes the extent of what's constantly in the back of my head. We have to move in 15 days. I've been counting down, planning, how fast to work, etc... But if I repeat an ask to help with this thing he's all frustrated. Sigh.

My partner literally expects me to do all of his communication for him- including to me. He hovers and I guess from context clues what he might need to say, give him a verbal multiple choice test until he indicates I've hit on the right one. It's exhausting and time consuming.

This is 100% why I was happier when I was single. This happens in every relationship I'm in. I basically end up taking care of these guys and it's fucking exhausting and turns me into a sad excuse for my real self.
