I seriously am about to lose it on my boyfriend. I need some good advice right now.
I cook for my boyfriend, vacuum, dust, do dishes, our laundry, pack his lunches, and even make his breakfast before work sometimes. I make sure he is ALWAYS taken care of because he works full time and usually, I do not. I work part time as a caretaker for a disabled woman. have no problem doing this on a regular bases.
However, for two weeks straight I was working full time, 45 hours a week. Now if you know anything about taking care of people with developmental disabilities, you know it can be a very mentally wearing job. I came home after a 10 hour shift to make dinner for us. My bf was playing videogames. I asked him for help carrying groceries in. He helped, threw them on the floor, and returned to playing. I asked him for a moment of his time to help me cut apart frozen chicken. He got up, stabbed it, said "sorry can't help" and returned to his game. I was angry and we got in a big fight, ending with him storming off and yelling he couldn't do anything right.
This is not the main issue at this point. I was furious, but we resolved the issue. I told him for ONE DAY, I would like him to do all the chores I do on a daily basis (cook, dust, vacuum, laundry, clean dishes, pack his own lunch) and see why I was so frustrated after a long days work, that he couldn't do the ONE THING I asked him to do.
That day was today. Well, hes managed to cook dinner and clean dishes, and throw one load of laundry in the washer. Thats it. Hes been stomping around in a bad mood, acting like his life is so hard and I'm just the worst person. He took an hour and a half in the bathroom to avoid doing work. Now he is claiming he needs to go to the gas station to fill his tire.
I am about to lose it. He is acting so ignorant towards me, all because I asked him to do stuff I do EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. To understand why I was frustrated. I never expect him to do any of this again. I am just sp angry right now. Please help me before I completely lose my cool.
Tl;dr: Asked my bf to do chores that I do every day to understand my frustration. Hes acting ignorant and stomping around. Please help
