Dear GhanaWeb: My husband refuses to wash my panties

Dear GhanaWeb,

It’s been nine months since my husband and I got married. Nine solid months and we’ve quarrelled about the same thing till now.

My husband helps with washing. In fact, he does the washing most times because my hands itch whenever I wash.

He didn’t know this until we got married before I told him. He initially struggled to embrace this about me but he’s managing it now and I’m grateful.

However, the problem is he said he won’t wash my panties or bra if he helps with the washing. At first, I thought it was a joke but he has truly never washed them. He doesn’t have any reason, he only said it makes him uncomfortable so he won’t ever do it.

I took it on a lighter note, thinking he was going to change his mind but till now he has never washed them.

I do not understand that he can wash everything except my panties and brassieres just because it makes him uncomfortable. I get angry anytime he leaves them hoping he changes his mind but he’s still stubborn.

He also gets angry and sounds like washing our clothes is a crime or like he’s doing me a favour. He washes every week and we argue every week about this and go a day or 2 without talking to each other. I’ve done all I can to make him change his mind but he won’t.

Why can’t he wash them for me? I’m beginning to get tired and fed up with him. I feel like we can’t keep arguing over the same thing.

He removes them when we are having sex, so I see nothing wrong with him washing them. I am his wife and I deserve that privilege.

Please what can I do to make him start washing my panties?
