Can you ban your partner from your kitchen?

Invest in some Rubbermaid storage containers for your partner. I guess the best thing to do would be to wash your own dishes after you cook. By kicking her out of the kitchen, you may make her feel unwanted and there may be some resentment there. I feel your pain. I had a roommate that I love to death and he was pretty clumsy. But you have to love the person more than you do the bakeware.
