You respond in French, “What are you talking about?” She reminds you in French, “I asked you to start doing more things around the house…remember?

I take out the trash and do whatever it is that you tell me to do.” She responds in French, “I shouldn’t have to tell you do to anything. You’re a grown adult. The only thing I asked of you in addition to helping me with chores is that you start to enjoy some of the same things I enjoy…like certain kinds of dancing and music. Until you can do that, perhaps it’s best if we don’t see each other.” You tell her in French, “It’s one thing to help out with chores, and I don’t mind doing that, but it’s another to expect me to like everything you like! I draw the line at disco music!” She yells back in French, “I’ve had enough, and I’m leaving!”
