There are times when married couples don't enjoy shared living. LOL
I love my wife but not so much when she leaves dirty dishes in the
sink... to me even one dirty teaspoon left in the sink is like an
unflushed toilet. I never say anything, I just wash it and put it
away. I don't think a day has ever passed that I don't wash her
teacups. I handwash her bras too when she leaves them hanging on the
bedroom doorknob all day, thing is she never notices. Some things are
not worth making an issue of. No man should ever complain about a
woman's undies strewn about, they are purposely left as enticements.

I had no problem living in close quarters on a ship for years, no one
had much personal space, and there were daily inspections.
