Hi
I've had a huge problem with my partner over cleaning issues for years. My main issue is he won't do anything around the house. Prior to having our son, he did the laundry (just washed,dried then dumped on our bedroom floor) and I did all cleaning. Massively unequal but I just put up with it because I hate wet laundry!
Now I am back at work after maternity leave we both work part time, 0.8. He plays sport every Saturday and I end up doing the cleaning every Saturday. He does other jobs that he feels I should value equally, not sure what they are?
My main issue right now is that I told him this morning that if we couldn't resolve this issue I would leave him. He can't remember the conversation.
I think this is indicative of the lack of respect he shows me generally. I have a DD (14) who I think it would be difficult to move right now and I don't want to break up our relationship but I feel I have nowhere to go if he won't even acknowledge the disparity.
This is someone who is all for equal rights too, as demonstrated by us both being part time.
Any advice appreciated.
