This letter writer refuses to recycle and expects pro-recycling partner to respect that as they make plans to move in together.
My partner and I are planning to move in together. I don’t recycle, but he does and insists that I do it, too, once we are sharing a home. We can’t seem to resolve this! Please advise.That answer is not helpful! I was hoping for something thoughtful and practical. We have a lifestyle issue and need help resolving it, please. I respect his decision to recycle, but he’s not respectful of my beliefs.
My husband is paraplegic. We recycled for many years. Now as hub’s only caregiver, I just don’t have the bandwidth and stopped recycling, and minimize my carbon footprint in other ways. Point being, there ARE sometimes extenuating circumstances. For now, try to let some of the righteous indignation go and save the ground-standing for issues like voting and religion. Believe me, those will come up, too.“At the risk of giving advice” — love it.
