Sadly, men have absorbed the cultural narrative that anything they do around the house is "helping," as opposed to "doing their share of household labor." I get told ALL the TIME how lucky I am that spouse does laundry and cleaning, and don't get me started on the narrative around him parenting his own child. So, yeah, I am utterly unsurprised that a man could regard himself as a good husband for being willing to clean up messes when he's made aware of them.
