DP has done nothing all day

I just got home from a very tiring day at my new job to find DP has done absolutely nothing except sleep, shower, eat and play around on the Internet all day. He then wanted sex which I found exasperating. I know I'm exhausted and in a foul mood but I've been having bad thoughts that maybe we're fundamentally mismatched.

I'm the kind of person who is always busy; I currently work two part-time jobs (out of choice) and am studying for a degree-level qualification as well. DP has just left uni and has no clue what he wants to do in the future. He is claiming to still be tired from his finals but I'm losing patience as his finals finished 6 weeks ago now!

He is not looking for a job but the issue is more that he's done nothing. There have been times in my life where I wasn't job-hunting but was still constantly busy; that's just my personality. My DP is very bright but lazy. He also unfortunately has very expensive tastes - not a good combination. I'm the total opposite in terms of ambition. AIBU? Will I feel better after a nap and some food?

Well that changes things a bit op. you arent supporting him, it isnt even your home, you are staying in his parents house! Why on earth is it your issue that he has done nothing?

Can you be a cocklodger when you still live with your parents!?!

Doesn't sound right to me.

If I were him, I'd be looking for some hills, if you think he's lazy now, he doesn't stand a chance.

OP: Did he work last summer holidays or did he ever have a part time job whilst at Uni?

I didn't go to Uni. I worked every school summer holiday since I was 15, then left school at 18 and haven't really stopped working.

The idea of having six weeks off is a dream to me.
