I've been with my boyfriend about 10 months. We've been in lockdown together, with my child from previous relationship. As I was furloughed untill September, and he was working from home we've luckily been able to spend a lot of time together.
With it being lockdown, I had a lot more time for things I wouldn't have usually when working full time. So there was a big push on extra cooking, extra cleaning, just going 'extra' around the house seeing as we were stuck at home all day!
Fast forward to September, job front not looking great, I have decided to return to university for a top up course to gain my degree. As you can imagine, deadlines and lectures, plus normal home/ child responsibilities are back on top.
And it's made me realise how much of a lazy bastard he is. Those early days of quarantine I feel have lured him into a false sense of 'my girlfriend handles that'.
I was adamant that my next relationship would be more balanced, and I would be no ones personal skivvy.
Fast forward to today, he's still working from home. I'm now working from home for uni, deadlines left right and centre. My daughter off school as her class bubble is isolating.
He rings me at 17.02 from his house asking what's for dinner and I absolutely feel like loosing my shit. When I suggested I haven't thought about it yet, and may just get a takeaway for myself and my daughter the sigh he let out made me want to punch him through the phone. (Figure of speech, do not condone any violence in relationships).
He's made slight comments before about how I don't cook very often. Always brushed them off, but it's beginning to bug me now.
The way I see it is, 10 months ago you were a bachelor living alone no kids. What did you use to do before I came along? Also, he encouraged me to return and get my degree, so why can you not see/ sense times I need support and JUST COOK SOME BLOODY DINNER.
Think I'm just ranting because I've been stuck at my laptop trying to write an assignment, but any thoughts welcome
