BF IS DRIVING ME CRAZY WITH SLOPPYNESS AND LAZINESS!!!!
My boyfriend, after many times of me asking him not to, keeps leaving dishes all around the bedroom, including his oreos by the bed and his empty glasses of milk (which we all know when the milk is gone it causes a residue if not rinsed out). At one point I pulled 8 glasses out of the bedroom to wash, UGH!!!!. When he has a day off and I'm working and I ask him to do something like laundry or pick up the bedroom he says he was already planing to do that for me. Guess what.... IT'S NOT DONE!!!!! And I get this "Oh ####, I totally forgot about that. Now I feel like a jerk." Everytime this is what happens.
He makes more money than I do but doesn't have to put in as much time (I work 5-6 days a week, and he only has to put in 3-4) so he pays for the larger bills. Because of this arrangement, I try to make sure I take care of the cleaning, laundry, etc house work. But is it too much to ask for him to help me out when he's off and I'm not. I'm getting worn out from working my butt off and coming home and cleaning when he's layed around and watch tv all day. I've talked about this to him and he starts helping, but only for a little bit. I've tried leaving it laying around to make a point that I'm not picking up after a grown man but then it just doesnt get done at all. I always end up cleaning up the kitchen, no matter who cooks b/c he makes the excuse to go to the bathroom in the middle of doing the dishes. Or if he does do the laundry, he washes and dries and leaves it crumpled in the basket by the dryer (one time in plastic bags b/c he ran out of room in the laundry basket) for me to come home and fold and put away. WHAT DO I DOOO!!!!!!!!!

You break up with him, move out, and find a man, not an overgrown teenager.
If you marry him, you sign on to be treated this way for the rest of your life.
