    I would suggest reviewing the usage instructions on the packaging with your wife, but this is quite likely a part of why I do not have one :p

      Yeah, reviewed and asked for years. It’s one of many things she just doesnt care to listen to. She thinks it doesnt matter, but when i say we can extend the use of this product 4x as long meaning thats 4x less money spent on something that in my eyes does cost a significant amount then yes it does matter. Plus she does like 2-3 loads a day because if a shirt touches the ground it needs to be rewashed and if you wear a shirt for 2 min it also needs to be washed. That logic with 2 kids makes laundry pile fast. She also has work clothes, change into home clothes, after shower clothes every day… the amount of wasted resources (water, electric), wasted cleaner, and wasted time is staggering and laundry is never ending or ever caught up. You can probably imagine applying this to other areas of life and yup I can’t do it anymore. Can’t wait to lose the stress of people who make me be stressed…

        Don’t want to turn this into a bitch fest about spouses, but my god, my wife…

        She has this thing where she’s terrified of being stinky. She’s Asian BTW, not sure she can stink. Everything is worn once.

        Sport coat to work? WASH Bathrobe? WASH Scarf? WASH

        Have to all but push her out of the way to do laundry because she feels it’s the wife’s job. I’m unemployed BTW. 🙄 She has to dry ALL THE THINGS. Half out stuff comes out barely damp so I hang it, drives her nuts. Ever met a woman who will happily run her own bras through the drier?!

        I wonder what brings a relationship to this point. My new spouse and I don’t do everything the same way and it’s a nonisssue, efficient or not. But I imagine nobody goes into a relationship where living together is stressful at first. What changes? Did money get tight? The communication stopped?

          Yeah things change. Mostly children changes your entire life and things get harder and more stressful. For me this stuff wasnt the deal breaker, I did learn to live with it and many other inconveniences. After a while those things pile up and then they do other things that ends up being the final issue. For me it was refusing to pay her share of the mortgage and spending got out of control. We go into debt and then forclose on the house leading to bankruptcy to be filed. Last chance to make things right we try once more and didnt last 2 months before same stuff happened. Oh and she went out of her way to go purchase a new puppy while i had zero knowledge of this. That was my moment. All of this was over the course of 2 years as well so plenty of time to reflect and try things to resolve everything but nope nothing worked.

            Oh man. Yeah that sounds pretty catastrophic. My condolences for the situation. Wishing the best for you on your new chapter.
