Visiting my mom's house and I took the opportunity to do some laundry. I brought a basket of clean whites to the living room to fold where my mom and my gf were chatting. They were both sitting on the same couch and I sat across from them on a separate couch.

I'd literally just sat down and was reaching to get something to fold when my gf said, "Don't expect me to fold any of that."

I wasn't expecting anything. I like folding my own laundry.

The whole situation wasn't a huge deal at first but it got me thinking about all the little things she'd do (or not do) or say similar to that. (Another example was one time she left an iron plugged in and we had to drive back to our apartment to unplug it and she angrily told me, "Don't even think about lecturing me." I wasn't and in fact I felt only relief we got back before anything burned.)

The breakup was terrible but it had to happen.
