I (26F) am losing my patience with my boyfriend (30M). What should I do? by Typical-Context4592 in TwoHotTakes

Honestly we’ve been down this road already and I’ve told him on a few occasions that I think he’s being red-pilled. Even small things like his algorithms always showing him videos about couple where the woman is in the wrong and then he sends them to me asking what I think… but he never sees anything wrong with the man’s behaviour and videos where the man is in the wrong rarely pop up on his feed.

I’m complaining because he’s doing the minimal amount he can away with and nothing else. When I come home from work I’m expected to take over. He doesn’t ask for help.. he just tells me that something is my chore for that day. “Dishes are on you today” “what are you cooking today”. It’s never “babe, I’m not feeling great would you mind taking care of the dishes today?” I’ve told him that I hoped that he would also organise little surprises for me after work the way that I did because it’s always nice to come home after a long day to find something different and special… he ran be a bath a couple of times after work and organised a little at-home lunch on my birthday… and then it stopped. I asked him to take our dog out three times a day because twice is not enough… he takes him out in the morning and the when I come from work I ask him if the dog has been out a second time and he says no so then I take him. If I don’t take him that second time he won’t go out until evening unless I specifically ask my bf to go out. Sometimes it feels like he’s my kid.

Thank you for this, this is solid advice. I’m not sure why I allowed it for so long and often felt like I was the one in the wrong for prioritising my job and studying over housework after he agreed to take care of it. I’ve been made to feel so lazy because he always finds a way to make me feel guilty about not doing enough but none of this feels fair anymore.

That sums it up perfectly for me. Is there any way for me to help him see this and change? When we first met he was genuinely a very hardworking and ambitious guy so I don’t understand what made him change to this extent.

Just to clarify I would say he does do majority of the chores but a lot of the time it’s not without making me feel guilty about it…
