When we were first married almost 40 years ago (3 months to go) husband helped himself to a snack in the kitchen (his mom would not let anyone eat anywhere else – not even in the dining room for holidays). He finished and got up and left his glass and plate on the table.
I told him – “I am not your mother. You do not have to wash dishes, but if you use them and it is not is for a meal we are having together, put them in the sink when you are done.” He still puts them in the sink for me.
