AIO I just need to know if this is normal
I F(27) have been with my partner M(25) for a little over a year now, and we both live together. I personally am more of clean freak than he is, so we try to meet in the middle. Anyways, I’m the one who does all the washing of the towels used around the house. I’ll interchange the kitchen towels meant for drying/ cleaning of hands.. no biggie. The problem I’m having is no matter if his hands are clean or not he’ll dry them on the clean kitchen towel that hangs on the stove that I also use, but refrain from doing so because knowing he’s not actually washing his hands which makes me uneasy. For example, He’ll make a pizza get food on his hands ONLY rinse with water than dry it on the towel this goes for anything, spills, particles of food on hands he’ll just rinse no soap, even though it’s by the sink and just dry on the towel. I’ve had to stop him when I see him do it because I find it to be unsanitary, and he tried to make me feel better by saying he “only wipes it on the right side” as if that makes much of a difference. Because of this I have resorted to always using paper towels and it’s honestly annoying and wasteful. I put a fresh towel out on Monday afternoon, and Friday I went to dry my hands and stopped myself because it was visibly dirty, it had dried up sauces on it and other crusts. I just need to know if I’m be irrational about this, is this normal? I personally don’t think I’m asking for too much or should even be asking at all. At this point, I’m planning on no longer putting any towels in the kitchen to be used. Knowing him he’ll never go grab a clean/ new one because he never replaces them anyways.
This is also my first reddit post ever, apologies if it’s long-winded.
