“You and your partner are getting ready for bed when you notice the wet towel on your side of the bathroom floor — again. You've mentioned it twice before, gently, and they said 'sorry, I'll stop doing that.' It's been about six weeks of this. The towel itself takes two seconds to deal with. But standing there looking at it, you're aware of a longer list forming quietly in the back of your head.”
