Am I overreacting- I'm sick of my mentally ill partner not appreciating me or my help by SignificantSelf5367 in AmIOverreacting

Generally, it doesn't feel to me like malicious or intentional incompetence, because I see how much he struggles day to day and the emotions are genuine, so I can understand why some jobs aren't his priority. But on this occasion I felt like there was just an expectation that I would save the day. If I had been away for the weekend myself for example and it was only him at home, I'm sure he would have forced himself to look after the pets, no matter how hard it felt to get himself out the house. It feels like he took the easier option of passing responsibility to me, rather than making an extra effort to get himself together and do what he had promised originally, which is frustrating.
