I’m so glad my wife and I are aligned on the manual rinse thing as I don’t think I could suffer silently. We’ve had enough silly disagreements about other things like how to properly load the dishwasher. After a few decades, she does it her way and I do it my way. The dishes come out clean for both of us so we both deal.

I think we both grew up in households that did full manual washes most of the time even though the dishwasher was there; it was reserved for special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas when there really was a lot of dishes.

But are you saying you force yourself to eat all your food, even if you are full or don’t like it, just to avoid scraping it into the trash bin?

Wife and I are like minded when it comes to scraping or rinsing plates before they go into the dishwasher, fortunately.

I don’t force myself to eat all my food, but will typically do so as I tend to serve less than I might need and add a bit more after if I’m still hungry.

What I mean is that while still eating I (kind of pedantically) normally scrape my plate quite clean such that there is nothing to rinse, like every grain of rice for example, in the interests of not having to rinse off anything before it goes in the dishwasher. This is the thing I haven’t bothered to ask my wife to also do.
