Describe walking the Middle Path
Balancing acceptance and change
Create an example of a DEARMAN for this situation: You cook dinner every night and your partner, enjoys the meal and then leaves their dishes in the sink and says they "will do them later." The dishes end up sitting there until the next morning and you finally do them yourself, and you're feeling upset.
When you offer to do the dishes after dinner and follow up with saying "I'll do them later" I have noticed that the dishes end up sitting there until the next morning, and I eventually end up doing them. Having a dirty space makes me feel anxious. I get frustrated when you don't do something you say you are going to do. I would like for us to establish a routine where one of us cooks, and one of us does the dishes after dinner. Or maybe we can cook and clean together each night. I would feel closer, and much less anxious and frustrated in a clean space.
