I Pretend to Be Asleep When the Dishes Need Doing

Marriage is about love, trust… and knowing when to strategically “fall asleep” on the couch.

FreeTo.Chat is the confession capital for the married and coupled.

It’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s just… sometimes, I’d rather let the clink of plates fade into the distance while I sink deeper into my “nap.”

And before you judge — I know I’m not the only one.

Some of you have perfected the scroll-in-bed move.

Others, the suddenly-on-a-work-call escape.

The best part? My spouse hasn’t caught on yet. Or maybe they have… and they’re just letting me think I’m clever.

🫠 = my face when I hear the dishwasher start without me.

🧠 = my brain reminding me I owe them one.

✨ = the relief of getting away with it… for now.

Your turn. What’s your go-to “oops, I can’t help right now” move?
