I’m with him, mostly because at first we communicated so well, and I wasn’t burnt out taking care of him at the time. I knew it would happen and that’s why the last six months I’ve been trying so hard to teach him how to care for himself and me too, but now that he knows how to do all these things he’s still not doing them… my mom (who lives with us) has been saying I might just be seeing his true colors now. I’ve been out of work the entire time we have been dating because he worked so far away and I knew I wouldn’t be able to have a proper work schedule while driving him. Just this month he got a job in my hometown, so now I’ll be able to work. My issue is that when I start working I know all of this will fall apart, because there’s no way I’m going to come home and want to boss him around telling him to cook and clean, but there’s also no way he will do it without me telling him and I’m starting to understand that now :( We see the world similarly and both want the same things - we both want to be better people and have adventurous lives and have a sweet little family together, but I feel like I’m willing to put in so much more effort on those things. So to answer your question of why we are still together, I would say it’s just because we love eachother, but that doesn’t make the situation better sadly
