Eww, but good answer...truthful! Definitely relatable to the dust as we all constantly fight against it. As for my husband, if I didn't make it my 'job' to keep up with the housework, he would be fine with it. He is a man's man, but luckily, he has me to keep the house straight, lol. :)
I do agree. Just saying "sorry" and then repeating the bad behavior is not a win.
It is important to be honest in a relationship and if one isn't truly sorry and planning to do better, best not to say, 'sorry' as it wouldn't be genuine.
