At least they weren’t arguing about something trivial…

I guess the PJs were still wet?

What an overgrown kid. Anyway, he should have more than one pair of pyjamas, my son and I have 3 each.

No. One of the myriad other options available to him.

You can't do your own laundry either?

If she had checked his pockets before putting it on the Wash cycle, she would have found his new iPhone.

There are some like that, but in fairness to Aly Rustom and falseflagsteve, some of the conversation has been removed by moderation.

Nobody's doing that. Cut the drama

DV is never acceptable. He needs anger management therapy.

Economic stress massively building in Japan and across world as currency real asset purchasing power fuels inflation, economic hardship and rising crime/violence etc.
Crime and violence, not just increasing in Japan!
Takes 5 Yen today to buy what 1 Yen bought just 5 years ago regarding real assets (e.g. CRB commodity index)!
We must consider source of rising societal stress, why global stability and peace so necessary, not opposite, as US led global proxy wars and instability causing all to suffer from inflation and reduced standard of living.

I think this goes much deeper than a pair of pajamas.

I do many domestic duties, cleaning and cooking but my wife does the laundry because he has her way of washing items. I don't interfere.

Those of you having a laugh at this woman being grabbed by neck and forced to the floor. Check your moral compass. Rotten.

How cute.
63 years old and he needs his little PJs.
He also doesn't know how to do laundry.
Hopefully he can learn to be a big boy someday and maybe even tie his own shoes.

Very few husbands do the laundry.

At 63, I hope to be on a cruise in Europe with my wife, not arguing over pajamas in the dryer - she will have to see me walk around naked, lol

Very few husbands do the laundry.
Maybe they never understood, the cottons, delicates, hand wash button. And aways hit the synthetics?? taking out a middle age lady 'cos she mixed up the 'on' v start button ain't a reason for misogyny. I do my own laundry and family laundry on occasion. I forgot the start button, several times, on g/f machine. we fell about on the sofa laughing. that is the kind of acceptable 'assault'. Hopefully lady in the report will finally throw the detergent on his bed sheet! and get the u(b)ver out of there.

Divorce him already.

Violence is wrong and never solves anything. The solution here was for him to buy another pair of pyjamas.
I often wear the same pyjamas several times. I am aware some people (including Japanese women) would not accept this and insist that the pyjamas were washed after one use. In this situation, I would likely point out that super-expensive luxury hotels ask you to reuse towels without anyone finding this dirty. However I expect that this would not deal a crushing blow to my partner's position, and instead merely fan the flames of an argument.

Just wear your birthday suit if you need to. Unless you don't do the laundry for that either then we're outta options.
