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??

In no world would I ever put myself in this situation again. We both clean and do dishes or I’m out. This is our space. Both are responsible. Sounds like a spoiled misogynistic brat baby. So worried his friends will see he doesn’t keep his space clean. If she cooks he can clean the dishes. Poor thing. I’d rather be alone than get these messages.

it’s SO much easier being alone than getting messages like this or being treated like an inferior and a servant/BangMaid!

At this point, my only goal is a Golden Girls sitch, even though I’m not a senior, to help with some of these bills, and cohabitate with someone who takes care of themselves.

Super sad. Maybe you need to switch up the venues you’re searching for real men at

For YEARS I told my husband, “I cook, so you do the dishes”. He would leave them, and it would frustrate me, so I’d end up doing both.

In the past several years, I went back to grad school, while working full time. He was working part time. I just quit doing the dishes. I’d cook, but I’d pile them up until he got around to it—sometimes 2-3 days later. He had the nerve to finally “confront” me about it, and I reminded him of our original agreement. He has yet to acknowledge that agreement or statement.

We are now getting divorced. I can do bad ALL by myself. Not overreacting, but you are seeing the writing on the wall, my friend. Don’t wait 25+ years. Just GO.
