Best and most exhausting relationship I ever had :)

Here is an exhausting relationship for you. I need to get things off of my chest and this seems like the best place to do it, so here goes.

We've been together for a while now. I love him, more than I've ever loved anyone. He's beautiful and can be so sweet and loving. But everything is so one sided. He doesn't work, doesn't cook, doesn't clean. He contributes nothing to the house except for messes that I end up cleaning up myself. And he doesn't appreciate anything I do, doesn't even seem to notice the majority of it. For the most part he's always in a good mood, but when he gets upset, he becomes so unreasonable. There's no talking to him about it. His communication skills are severely lacking. So most of the time it's just a guessing game of trying to figure out what's bothering him this time. Like dude, just tell me what's wrong, how can I fix it or make it better. He won't tell me.

He always wants me to do what HE wants to do. Even when I spend nearly all of my time with him, he wants more. Sometimes it's hard to even get things done like laundry, or dishes cause he expects me to be 24-7 available to him. He will even WAKE ME UP in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, to cater to him. Because he wants to eat or hang out. I rarely get a decent nights sleep and he doesn't care how it affects me during the day.

Like I said, I love him more than anything. But it's so much. I try venting to my friends and family but they are always making excuses for his behavior. "Rebecca he's only two years old...He's just a toddler. Things will get better." but I don't know. Do people really ever change?

He's a cat, right?

When I first started reading I thought it could be a dog/puppy. But as suggested could also be a cat.

Like Dude? What’s that about?

It really is hard to raise a child but in the end its the best feeling ever.

Or maybe it's a 2 year old like the OP says in her last paragraph Grin

Until the last paragraph, I thought it was a typical post from the Relationships board and was waiting for an onslaught of LTB!

Until I saw that he was 2 I was going to insist he had a borderline personality disorder!

All toddlers have borderline personality disorder 😂

Mooey89 · 17/04/2019 06:22

But also, I was reading through this until the end thinking ‘I wonder if this is exH’s new gorlfriend’ 😂😂

PonyPals · 17/04/2019 09:07

Haha a cat?!

This has to be a dog or a cat?! No one would be in a relationship with a human that behaved this way?!

Princessfaffalot · 17/04/2019 09:11

Oh ffs! Serves me right for not reading it thoroughly!

TapasForTwo · 17/04/2019 09:12

A baby!
