[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood) I'm sorry. I'll do things properly. Even after saying all this, does it still not get through?

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=4) Do you really mean that? I want you to compare them. Just the actual physical time it takes.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=8) That's why I'm doing it without complaining, aren't I?

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=10) But you are complaining. Like, "I'm working so hard." I know you're working hard, but right now, we're supposed to share the housework. We agreed to do it when we can, right?

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=17) I understand. I'll be careful. It's not about "being careful."

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=20) I'll fix it. I'm sorry. You're just saying that, but you're not actually empathizing with me right now, are you?

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=24) I am empathizing. I'm sorry. What do you mean?

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=26) I'm sorry for making things hard for you. For dragging you around with my emotions.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=30) Do you really mean that? Wait, aren't you asking me, "Why do you think that?"

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=33) I'm just asking. I'm asking because it's not getting through in that sense. I'm not saying this to hurt you.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=39) But I am saying it because I really think so.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=41) That's why, when you say things like "aren't I?" and so on, I'm telling you I don't understand anymore, which is why I'm asking.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=46) So if I don't understand, should I just accept everything you say and swallow my words from now on?

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=51) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I do mean it. Truly. For dragging you around with all my emotions.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=56) I'm not independent, both in my work and my private life.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=59) Leaving everything to you... Even though you pay for the rent and everything, I can't do anything. I'm sorry.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=63) I'll do things properly. Even after saying all this, does it still not get through?

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/pyHUocpZ37s6/en/a-couple-argues-over-housework-apologies-and-feeling-understood?t=67) Yeah, but if you say it like that, it makes it sound like I'm cornering you. That's really unfair of you, honestly.
