It's normal for couples to fight. And among the things they argue about is household chores.

Disagreements like this stem from differences in views and expectations about gender roles, some of which are considered obsolete.

Others don't like the way their partner does a specific chore. Then some couples don't have the same standard of cleanliness.

Over at Reddit is a woman who recently had this experience with her partner of six years. While she describes their relationship as great overall, they occasionally disagree on household chores.

One evening, the original poster's (OP's) fiancé talked to her about his bad day. Then while she was loading the dishwasher, the guy criticized her for not doing it the way he thought it should be done.

She laughed about her SO's response. Then, when she suggested that he take over the task, he became upset and went to bed.

The day after that, the OP's boyfriend left for work without saying goodbye. This left her wondering if she was being insensitive.

After all, she already knew that he was having a bad day. So she decided to ask the Am I The A**hole (AITA) community if she was the a-hole for laughing at her boyfriend's remark about her way of loading the dishwasher.

Apparently, this argument doesn't just happen over a dishwasher. Couples fight over how to do the laundry.

Some people just gave up on handling the dishwasher.

Some Redditors feel that the distribution of labor isn't fair between this couple.

Maybe it's time to reorganize the chores assigned to each of them.

According to the OP, the dishes still get cleaned even with the way she loads the dishes.

Breaking up over a petty thing be like...
