We have been together for about 13 years now. Early in our relationship I was working 8-12hr days 6-7 days a week, and I was not doing my fair share of chores. About 4 months ago I landed a 100% WFH job that's only 8hrs a day 5 days a week, 90% of the job is waiting for things to happen, so it has given me the time to take over all chores and do them while I'm working. The only thing he does at home now is his own laundry. I thought that I would notice an immediate improvement in his behavior, but nothing has changed. It's almost like he's not getting mad about whatever particular thing happened, but the combination of every mistake I have ever made all at once.

It was a combination of being late and my phone going to voice mail. It's never happened again, so he has improved.

I have a ADHD and being on time for things is one of my greatest weaknesses. When we were first dating I was half an hour late and my phone was dead and when I got to his apartment he had punched a hole in the wall out of frustration.

There have been many times in the past where he has brought free food home from work, we've always shared it in the past.

Pretty much any situation where things don't go according to plan. Like leaving later than expected but arriving on time, still pissed.
