A Woman Stopped Doing Chores for 2 Days to Prove Her Husband Wrong
In a playful attempt to teach her husband a lesson, TikToker Lindsay Donnelly, went on a two-day housework strike after he made a thoughtless comment about her not doing “anything.” Documenting her action in a viral video, Lindsay intentionally left the house in disarray, showcasing the untidy rooms and mess that had accumulated. However, her strike took an unexpected turn when the video gained traction online.
The mischievous smile on Lindsay’s face in the video hints at her playful rebellion against household chores. Lindsay captioned the video ’’Then I left town for a girl’s trip’’, making the viewers believe she left her husband to handle the responsibilities of parenting and maintaining a tidy home while she’s away.
A lot of people could relate to Lindsay’s situation, and before she knew it, the video gained millions of views and thousands of comments, many of which were not very nice to her husband. Most commenters supported her bold decision and some even encouraged her to leave the ’’ungrateful’’ man.
One user noted that it’s “sad” that Lindsay has to “play this game” and that despite her efforts, her husband will still pretend he didn’t notice the mess.
“Mine goes on a chore frenzy every time I’m out with girlfriends. That’s how he shows he appreciates how hard I work to keep the house tidy. Don’t settle ladies,” one woman wrote.
Some commenters even had good advice to offer: ’’I did the opposite and texted him a picture every time I did something. After two days he got the idea. Go girl!’’
The strike was supposed to teach her husband a simple lesson, but it got a bit out of control. Realizing the potential consequences, Lindsay decided to share a couple of follow-up videos, expressing both praise for her husband and concern over the viral attention.
Lindsay confessed to her husband that the previous video went viral and explained she was afraid that he might find out about it from someone else, so she instead decided to tell him what it was all about.
She then hinted it was an opportunity for him to apologize, but his brief and seemingly unenthusiastic “sorry TikTok” apology only fueled further negative comments and raised questions among viewers.
One commenter questioned whether he had truly apologized to Lindsay, writing, “I mean he apologized to us, but did he apologize to you? Like really?” Another observer noticed Lindsay’s nervous laughter throughout the video, suggesting discomfort in their interaction: ’’Why is she nervously laughing in this entire video? She seems uncomfy around him,’’ the viewers wondered.
As Lindsay and her husband face the aftermath of their viral video, the online community continues to weigh in on their story. Their situation reminds us of the impact that social media can have on personal relationships and highlights the need for open and sincere communication, both online and offline, as we navigate the complexities of marriage and close relationships in today’s world.
