He says it’s an “accident” every time he leaves dirty plates in the sink for days. So now, purely by coincidence, I keep forgetting to plug in his XBox Controller before our nightly gaming sessions,. the look of PANIC on his face when it dies mid-game is PRICELESS HAHA LOL
Funny how fast dishes get done once FIFA is on the line. Petty? Probably. Effective? ABSOLUTELY!
10/10 would recommend passive-aggressive housework sabotage. LMAO

Love it! (Gives evil laugh)
He’s in the FO stage of FAFO. We love to see it
petty and immature af
The fact you need to charge his controller says it all.
Hopefully he starts putting the controller to charge himself lol
Why are you in charge of charging his controller? Are you his mother?
lol do you have to charge his phone for him too?
Weaponized incompetence and ignorant co-dependence. Not the flex you think it is
A man who can’t manage to maintain a home OR even his own items is unfuckable to me but, you do you babe. See if you can get a tax write-off on the volunteer work at least.
Please leave this guy. It will never get better.
They sound both like losers. Prolly meant for each other
And how old are you? This isn’t the win you think it is. You recommend passive aggressiveness in a relationship? How pathetic, grow up
Why do you have to charge his controller for him ?
Btw: good job though on finding a way to get the dishes done.
That’s not a boyfriend. That’s an over grown man child.
I do the same to my son at times. It’s a minor inconvenience that won’t lead to sickness like not doing dishes, his share of house cleaning or his laundry. Bravo OP 👏
Some of y’all really have no standards…
How about just dating an adult… this petty bullshit isn’t the flex you think it is.
That’s some shit you do to a 14 year old or something
Hun, stop focusing so much of your energy on this pathetic specimen of a male, make your exit plan and leave him.
It is saddening that he has made you responsible for the upkeep of even his damn video-game control being charged. You deserve a partner that is a funcional adult, the one you’re currently have is not. Promote him to your ex and do not look back.
My (13f) man child (14m) won’t do basic adult tasks. I don’t have social skills and he doesn’t have a personality but….
Charge his controller? WTF? You’re not a gf, you’re a babysitter. Congrats.
he’s too stupid to charge his controller? or you unplug it?
Updateme
If you need to manipulate your boyfriend to do basic chores and you’re already charging his devices for him, it’s time to go. This isn’t the funny anecdote you think it is.
This sounds like a healthy relationship
Don’t take advice from me, but I once “forgot” that the Xbox wasn’t waterproof and disconnected it mid game and ran water over it in the sink. It was my Xbox that he was using and he kept forgetting to do chores. I’m older and wiser now.
Huh. This is literally the dynamic most adults have with a small children. It’s not much to envy in an adult relationship.
Ah babe, one day you’ll look back on this, shake your head and ask why you stayed for so long. You’ll find an actual partner one day if you learn to stop settling for the bare minimum.
Do you have to wipe his butt too?
Updateme
OP – It’s not too late to delete this!
Okay mommy. 👍
OMG, you’re such a Bad-ass!🫣
Sounds like your son instead of bf. He needs to grow up
Next step, stop doing his laundry.
Op you’re mothering your bf. I just got out of a relationship where I was doing the same and let me tell you: YOU DESERVE BETTER!!!
lmao im sorry but like does it not embarrass you that this is what your relationship has come to
Girl if you have to do this passive aggressive shit to get him to contribute to the household labor then it’s not the flex you think it is. Find someone else that will tackle on chores without being told or forced to do it.
Ma’am-you have a son, not a boyfriend.
Dump that man child!
Do you wipe his ass too?
Unmedicated ADHD is a bitch and can ruin relationships.
? If he can’t charge his own fucking controllers he needs to be left alone to learn to grow and fend for himself.
Why do you even plug his controller in anyway lol
Yea my husband used to leave his wet towels on my side of the bed.
I told him once
I told him twice
Then I moved his wet towels onto his pillows
Funny enough he remembers to hang it up now.
Is he a boyfriend or a toddler? A grown ass adult shouldn’t be needing their girlfriend to charge their controllers.
You’re dating a man child who has a mother who coddled him growing up, and expects you to do the same.
Healthy relationship habits. How far do you think this will go?
May this love never find me
Sounds like you’re dating a child? Why would you have to charge his controller for him?
He needs you to charge his controller for him and you think he’s going to do the dishes? This man is a child, and I say that not even convinced a mother would charge their son’s controller for them.
Tell us what else you do for him 🤡
Wow.
I don’t even do this for my son, who is a teen and can do this on his own. And empties the dishwasher for me.
Have fun dating a glorified toddler OP
Why are you dating a child
I personally would prefer an actual grown man who managed to do things on his own and not some man shaped toddler who has to be tricked and manipulated into doing the most basic things but to each her own I guess.
Put the Xbox controller in the dishwasher, and run it.
Xbox controllers take double a’s I’m so confused 😭
If this isn’t ragebait, please let all of us break up with him for you
Do you have to hold his dick while he pisses, lest he just lets it rips and paints the walls?
I hate both of you.
I already know the type of person your BF is 🤣
What you think is a win is actually a very depressing loss babes.
Thanks OP, you reminded me I need to charge my controller.
Dearie. With great affection, this is not the victory you think it is. Why on god’s gross planet are you even responsible for charging his Xbox controller.
My husband of 19 years is more than capable of loading and unloading the dishwasher, using a vacuum cleaner, using a duster, granted he’s not that great with laundry but that’s fine, he pulls his weight elsewhere. He’s 60 this year, and blissfully unaffected by all the social media “men don’t do housework” claptrap. Even if you’re not married, living together is a partnership, and if you’re pulling in different directions it’s never going to work.
Break up. Don’t play games like this.
This is the way.
Why are you with this dude at all? Do you want to be his mother for the rest of your life?
Thats not the win you think it is
Why are you dating a 12 year old? Who the fuck expects their partner to charge their controller?
He can just charge it while playing?
Hot take: if you have to parent your partner like they are an actual toddler you need to break up with them and date an actual adult.
My husband used to leave for work in the morning and put his headset on his desk without plugging it in three or four days a week. So I’d do it. Eventually I was like, wtf am I doing this for? He’s a grown-ass man. If he wants a dead headset, who the fuck am I to stop him from having one? I’m his wife, not his mother.
Once I stopped treating him like a child, he stopped acting like a child. His headset now gets plugged in 99% of the times he walks away from his desk.
He’s weak and your petty and controlling. Neither of you deserves a relationship
Please send the child back to his family.
Why the heck are you responsible for charging this man’s controller. I think you may have bigger issue than just the dishes in your future.
Congrats, you’re dating a child.
Charge his Xbox controller?? Are we serious rn
You guys are silly.
This is such a lie lol xbox tells you your controller is low battery multiple times before it dies and stops vibrating
Holy fucking reddit, these comments are crazy to me. Not everything has to result in dropping the relationship immediately over such small things. If the relationship is real, then discussions can be had and changes can be made.
A couple dirty dishes shouldn’t be the reason you end a committed relationship (unless it’s been an ongoing and repeated argument with no concessions from either side)
And the thing about the controllers, big whoop? This post didn’t really read like op was venting about it a la ” he makes me plug his stuff in every night!” Of course he’s capable of doing it, and if it bothered OP they could easily just ask him to do it himself.
Reading this while knowing my man takes care of his own shit and even remembers to charge my vibrator is just… you can keep him
Break up, you already hate each other
Why is every relationship post I see on Reddit just two people clearly hating each other? There is no benefit here.
He sounds unattractive in his behaviour, you do you girl but like have some self respect and stop charging his shit for him.
You charge his controller??? LOL
Do you wipe his ass for him too?
Tripping on a rug is an accident. Spilling a glass of water is an accident. Routinely ignoring your portion of chores is not.
He’s a child. Run.
It’s amazing how many things were not dishwasher safe until hubby had to do the dishes.
ur man is a loser
They are perfect for each other.
Bf is a loser.
It says a lot to have to do that to get a grown adult to contribute in the home that they live in. I could understand if he couldn’t iron your satin bridesmaid dress. But wash dishes, no excuse.
I love doing the dishes. It’s relaxing to me
Weaponized incompetence.
Why not talk about it
This post isn’t the win you think it is…This man doesn’t even charge his own controller after gaming!? Yikes!
Please be aware that autism spectrum disorder frequently results in failures in exectutive function; it was mostly undiagnosed in the 80s-00s due to lack of awareness, now it’s undiagnosed due to lack of resources
OP thinks shes winning in this scenario lmao.
How does this dumbass not charge his own controller 😅
Your relationship isn’t going to last very long
Each day that goes by I am more and more convinced that women LOVE dating man children, and if they don’t love it, they sure seem to do it all the time anyways
Can us women, as a collective group, agree to stop dating children?
Damn have fun with that guy
Congrats – you have a son
Girl you’ve set the bar so low an ant could step over it. Please raise your standards.
Not only is he using weaponized incompetence to avoid the dishes, you’re even having to charge his controller for him.
Please please reconsider a relationship with a manbaby. Do you want to be mommy all your life?
I had this issue with my ex, so I started putting his dishes in their own pile, as well as his clothes in a separate hamper for just him.
What is it with all these gamer loser guys that sit on their ass at home day and night while their girlfriends watch or i guess some get to play. And what’s with thee girls that settle for these losers?
Weirdest take on a “mother and son incest roleplay”. Yuck
Why are you the one charging his controller?
You sound like a horrible person to be around with.
Ma’am, why are you with such a wilfully handicapped person? You can do better. 🤨 seriously. This is sad and kinda pathetic.
Hide his body
So why did you guys exchange duties in the first place?
Really wish I could send this whoooole thread to my sister…. but it wouldn’t help.
And he can be bothered to charge his own Controller because….
Dishes are roughly 5,000x more important than unpaid video gaming could ever be. And I’m not saying that as a bash on gaming. I say the same thing about anything. The moment you move out of your parent’s house, chores of basic hygiene become more important than games, TV, reading or anything else. Keeping ahead on hand-washes makes it that they take anywhere from as little as a single minute to accomplish a single thing, to no more than 20 minutes for a full basin. It’s the priority.
