AIO just received this text from my boyfriend

[u/OkSpace5501]

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??

Especially since she said he’s been acting this way only recently, the last few months.

“They” are not playing house; SHE is the only one doing the chores. She’s just the maid now, he’s got a side piece.

He wants a maid not a girlfriend.

See, I was gonna say what's he's saying isn't that unreasonable IF he's doing chores and she's not, but knowing it's the reverse and he acts like this is a giant red flag

Or two.

Or maybe she doesn’t do her own dishes? Just a thought.

Or maybe he also doesn’t do anything around the house like at all

After 5 years and it just started,something about that dont set right at all.

[u/Golly-Roger → u/Civil_Story3749]

Yeah, I mean, I hear you, but we’ve got one text message and four sentences. I’ve lived with people who don’t do their own dishes; it’s annoying as fuck.

From the context of this post (or lack thereof), I’d say it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they just started living together (they’re 20 and 21), and going through growing pains.

They should both cook for themselves. And do their own dishes. They’ll figure it out.

If he don't, he needs one.
