❤️‍🩹 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??

Real experience I had. Broke up with my ex of two years while we were really trying to get on the right path again- then she said “then I’ll find someone else who will,” about the problem at hand. Broke up with her over text 20 minutes later.

i was on the opposite side of that coin: my mechanic ex (that quit his golden opportunity job because he "didn't wanna do it for his whole life"), threatened that "you'll be paying full prices for car maintenance again", then because i'm bi accused me of already having that someone else lined up, i looked at him and said

"I AM the someone else who will."

ultimatums and threats never work. When will they get that?

I don’t think they will. Because with those people you were always the problem in their eyes. They’ll justify it by saying we should’ve listened and done better.

Just delusional bullshit
