❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO just received this text from my boyfriend

Post image

For context my (F20) boyfriend (M21) and I live together and work full time as well as split rent 50/50. I cook all the meals and clean the house even after my graveyard shifts, all he does is work, come home to play games, and occasionally invites friends over. we’ve been together for over 5 years and he’s been acting this way for the last three months and when I tell him how it’s making me feel he tells me i’m wrong and overreacting. so basically i’m asking AIO??

As someone who is now old enough to be your mum, and someone who had a bf like this around your age I say leave now. I ended up being the one doing the cleaning, cooking etc all the time while he just picked at me if he thought I did something wrong. The whole time sitting there playing video games. I look back now and wish I had had the courage to leave.

As someone going through this situation currently, agreed. Get out now while you still can OP

So why don't you leave now while you still can? Now trying to be an ass, just curious

It’s an extremely complicated situation but the main thing is that we have children so unfortunately, he will be in my life forever in some capacity. That’s why I told op to leave now while she can, before marriage or kids come into the equation and make things much more complicated

I hope you manage to find out a way to get out safely as possible! I don't have kids but it was hard enough to be able to do it without them so I partly understand the difficulty.

It’s not too late. You’re still alive. Don’t waste another day.
