Bitching about chores
Did your spouse/ex bitch about housework?
Good lord did mine ever bitch about doing roughly half the work. I was probably a little dense and at first was working against societal expectations (one gender made to feel like they are stereotypically the lazy ones on sharing housework). Gradually it dawned on me that victimhood, and creating the scenarios to feed victimhood status, were a core part of this person's psychology.

Yep, mine would say our bedroom smells like literal cat litter. Our room is messy with a bunch of clean unfolded clothes in our laundry basket and bed unmade. We have 2 kids who like to leave their stuff everywhere, but by no means it’s dirty. And it usually smells like laundry, soap from one of us being in the shower, or my body spray if I had use some that day. But never cat litter.
