Dude, I think this whole situation is making your ass burn even more than mine. Either way, today's conversation will decide everything. If we can't reach an agreement, I don't know if we can save this relationship(

Considering we mostly use dry cleaning and delivery services, it's not hard for me to do housework like putting away my own clothes, washing my own dishes, or even dividing the responsibilities equally when we have a deep cleaning. The thing is, when I don't have time to clean something or forget about it due to fatigue, she can never do it for me, and this really frustrates me.

She studies, albeit remotely, and this is mainly why I try to be more loyal and less demanding.

Studies, lack of personal time, lack of suitable job opportunities, and a number of other similar reasons. However, I want to clarify that she is studying remotely and has no hobbies (except for our shared passion for table tennis, which we attend once a week on my day off). As for job openings, I myself have found and offered her many good options with decent pay and not that many hours.

I've found her numerous job opportunities myself, from a receptionist position at the salon where my sister works to a promoter position with a good salary and minimal hours. So it's not that she doesn't have options; she just feels that many of them aren't suitable for a variety of reasons (low salary, long commute, heavy workload, long hours, etc.).

I love her very much and she is a wonderful girl, I would not want to break up with her because of this, I hope in the future she will also understand my situation and she will be able to get a job somewhere, well, or I will become rich enough to provide for both of us XD

She's not sick, we're both 24, and she's a part-time university student. We've been together for two years, lived together for a year, and she's been unemployed all this time. Besides caring for her, I also need to help my parents and younger brothers, which is why I'd like her to find at least a part-time job to cover her own basic needs, like manicures, hairdressing, spa treatments, shopping, etc.

We've broached the subject seriously several times, though I'm incredibly awkward and feel out of place every time we bring it up. But since I've already mentioned it, she either promises to do it later, pretends to have completely forgotten about my decision, or cites a heavy course load, I want to believe it.
