If you have an issue, you should talk about it.

I will admit. My gf has brought up why I didn't clean up a certain spot on the wall (insulation foam stuck on the wall). And I told her that I've tried several solvents to get rid of the stuff. This stuff has failed...unfortunately. So I have to find other solutions. Keep in mind, that I need to find solutions that do not make a mess, nor affect the health of her and our Yorkie (allergic reactions, etc.). So it is a little complicated, as I don't have much time on a normal basis as is.

So my gf has tested me on this. I understand why she did it.
But ultimately, I feel that rather than testing each other, both sides need to communicate rather than "hope" the other side will magically know what you want.
My husband is 68 yrs old. We've been together for the last 20 yrs. I test him all of the time and he ties knots in the sleeves of my bathrobe. We laugh together, cry together and pray together. That's life. I think a little thing like a christmas tree test is fun. It keeps life interresting. The year I did the test the tree didn't get put away until the week before Easter! I came home and it was put away. We laughed. It wasn't a battle of wills, it was that he didn't notice that it was still up and he was doing the Easter dusting (that's another test) and noticed it in the middle of the living room.
