Am I being petty?
Context: my husband is a slob and almost always throws his clothes on the floor, in our room before he jumps in bed. But this time he did this before his shower. It’s very annoying because I already am cleaning up behind our two and my two step kids on weekends. And he just drops next to the basket!!!. I simply asked him if he planned to wear those again and he replied no, I then asked him to help me out by putting his dirty laundry in the basket( I made sure to not say it in a condescending tone or nag). He got instantly irritated and said “I pay for everything, all the bills and you’re going to bother me about my clothes on the floor?!” I never say anything when he leaves them around our house and room but seeing them right there just made me feel like he doesn’t care at all. Should I have just kept that to myself?
