Gas Stove Left On/Husband

Hi ladies,

Little backstory here. My husband and I have had many, MANY conversations about how I felt as though I was constantly the one to make sure that everything at home is taken care of. Things like cleaning, cooking, but just making sure that everything is locked, 4 year old and 2 dogs are taken care of. It’s exhausting.

He started doing much better, as far as making sure that the house is locked and things of that nature when we go to bed. Normally I would go through and just double check everything. Last night, I decided not to because I’m starting to trust him. I got home on my lunch today, and smelled the gas immediately. He left a burner on our gas stove on all night and all morning. The front door was also unlocked.

I’m concerned about the gas stove. I opened the windows but it smells bad. He doesn’t understand why I’m so upset, but I do understand that things happen sometimes. I just am upset that I was starting to trust him again and then this happens.

Do I need to just leave it be? I am upset because something bad could’ve happened, and he’s making it seem like no big deal.

I am also very adamant and weird about everything being locked, so he calls me OCD all the time. I just want to keep us and our 4 year old safe.

Thoughts?
