So me and my other half have a 1 year old. I do pretty much everything from cooking to cleaning to laundry and even picking up after not my baby but after my partner. His a man child and we have had several fights and arguments but he just doesn’t pull his weight. He leaves things for days like empty glasses/plates etc expecting me to pick them and when I’m fed up I do however if I don’t he will put them in the kitchen after 5+ days. Ergh! Sickening. I also pay the rent and bills. However if he ever does anything for example yesterday after a couple of weeks of not doing anything he picked little ones toys and put them away and picked some rubbish around the table he games on he then came over and kissed me and said I tidied up for you??? I told him urm for me? You live here too he makes it sound like it is all on me. However that was him doing something for me despite the kitchen being piled with dishes because I’ve been working and taking care of little one and doing other chores and cooking I’ve just not had the energy to do so but he will never do the dishes or load the dishwasher most he will do is throw rubbish into the bins every few weeks and make a bottle of milk for little one like 2/3 times a month and then I never hear the end of it whn I tell him he doesn’t do anything please someone tell me this is not how men are? Like I’ve got friends and colleagues who have partners that do more around the house than them themselves I’m not cool with this shit behaviour

Possibly they were having fun, nights out, good sex and generally a fun time. Didn't really occur to her that children, home and family were seen as 'her' realm by him.

Do you always answer questions on other people’s behalf? You know nothing about this woman, why are you putting words in her mouth?

OP why ?
You would be better off without this man , physically, emotionally and financially.
To move in with him makes no sense.
You know this in your heart …..
