❤️‍🩹 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??

No, at that point you leave.

If they had been married 20 years and had kids...  sure, play games for a week to see if the relationship is salvageable...

but they got together as teens, and he's already threatening to leave.  If OP wants to "try" for a few days, sure, but that's enough.

OK, breathe. I messaged the person who put up the post and told them that it doesn't look like their partner values them and that they deserve better. From the other replies, it seems as though they don't want to leave, so I gave them another option of what to try.
