I hope my girlfriend will stop reusing tea bags and don’t leave her half-drinking tea cups in our apartment

Emma keeps reusing tea bags. She picked them from the milk in the old cup or left them on the kitchen counter for future use. I think this is weird and disgusting. All the old milk will be absorbed into the tea bag.

She is always making new tea because she has forgotten how much tea she has. Our apartment is full of half-drunk glasses that she has forgotten. She didn't know how long they had been sitting there.

In the morning, I would open the curtains, and all three cups were full, with the tea bags still in them, and put them on the windowsill. I will go to the bathroom and knock over a cup of tea behind the door, and there will also be a cup on the side of the bathtub. When I put my clothes in the dryer recently, I found a tea bag that exploded during the washing process. I even found a tea bag in the drain in the shower room-what the hell is it?

She said that reusing old tea bags is an environmental decision, but this is nonsense: the environmental protection part is completely offset by the fact that she throws away so much tea every day-because she forgot to finish her drink.

We are now working from home together, and I really only need one or two glasses a day, but Emma asks for one every 20 minutes, even if she has a full glass by her side. She said, "Oh, I forgot to drink it" and tried to defend it by saying that she would reuse the bag, but she did not reuse it like a waste.

Emma needs to stop deceiving herself, saying that she saves tea by picking tea bags from old cups-this is just an excuse for her absent-mindedness. In any case, tea bags are designed for one-time use, otherwise the taste will disappear-everyone knows.

There is no problem with using tea bags many times. As for keeping the cup beside me: I am the one who cleans the most

I come from a long list of repeat users of teabags. Next to the kettle in my house, there is a small mold and a cup with an old tea bag and a spoon stained with tea. It is deeply rooted. I grew up on a farm where we reused food. My grandparents said "Don't waste it".

I don't think tea bags are disposable-you can drink the same tea bag up to three times. People make tea for up to five minutes, so I make a lot of small teas in the same bag. I found that after one use, the oily scum sticks to the side of the cup-you can brew it out in subsequent use. Simon said it was unhygienic. I told him that he needs to think about this planet and don't feel depressed because of tea.

Earlier in the pandemic, my father passed away and I returned to the farm. Simon came to support me, my mother, my brothers and grandparents. We all drank a lot of tea-dealing with grief. One day, Simon was furious with my brother and me. He also reused tea bags and left each tea bag on the side of the kitchen counter. Simon said that we are absent-minded, don't put things, should try meditation. He sniffed the fresh produce while checking the [use-by] date. I told him he needed to try to reuse more things because he wasted a lot in our shared apartment.

Simon said that I used my family history to justify a bad habit, but this is how I grew up. I drank more tea in the relationship. I will not apologize for reusing the bag; it helps save the environment.

Sometimes I leave old cups around the house, but so what? I am the neat person in the relationship. I do all the vacuuming, mopping and dusting. Simon left crumbs on the table-he created dirt, and I just reuse things, sometimes forgetting where I put the cup. I don't think he can stand on the moral high ground: his bad habits are not as good as my inherited tea bag habit.

Should Emma throw away the tea bag every time I use it?

I think one person can use tea bags multiple times-although sharing tea bags has the risk of spreading diseases. There are many other uses for tea bags—for example in gardening—maybe less controversial. Corinna, 52 years old

The biggest sin here is weak tea. One tea bag should make a decent cup of tea. Putting this aside, Emma should reuse tea bags, but be consistent: milk and water are also resources, and she doesn't seem to worry about wasting these. Adam, 48 years old

Simon, Simon, Simon. There are more important things than the cups around the house and the three-soaked tea bags. A well-known fact is that if you want to comment on your partner’s housekeeping, your contribution to it must be blameless. Organize more, Simon, and then you can express your opinion. maybe. Charlotte, 43

I have no problem using teabags for multiple brews, but the prospect of a half-drunk cup lurking at home is a moldy surprise waiting to happen. Treat every beer with due respect and have a sip! Dan, 28 years old

Emma's statement sounds less critical. This conflict has nothing to do with tea bags or the planet: what is the real tension you are trying to negotiate? You all waste and create chaos because you are not perfect-don't be so harsh on each other. Try to come from a more gentle place and talk about emotions, not morals. Anne Marie, 31 years old
