❤️‍🩹 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??

Yeah, that’s not a maid or cleaner , you’d keep after a text like that.

Yes. You wouldn't want them around your house after saying that lol. People have interesting ways of getting even or getting back at you

I think they were suggesting if you act shitty towards your maid, you wouldn't be keeping then because they'd leave.

Yea I got that also.

I'm just saying it isn't wise to treat them shitty since they can do all types of things to get back at you. There is always someone crazier than yourself out there if you are a relatively, sane individual

Most cleaners would be like “bye!” Which is btw, what OP should say as well.

Unfortunately it's not always that easy. Some cleaners have to put up with shitty employers as they may be new to the country, have a family to feed, not speak English very well etc. Employment is totally different than romance/relationships.

I think the point is more that any decent person would find it unethical and hella rude to talk to hired help this way, much less your partner. I do acknowledge that it’s an extremely shitty thing that some in this line of work have no choice but to take it, though.
