I have a chronic illness and live in a state of pain and fatigue. I manage ok, but by the time I get home, I'm DONE. I've been working crazy hours (thnx flu season) so like 10-12 hour days 6 days a week. I'm also the primary breadwinner because my partner is severely underemployed.

For the past few weeks I have been nagging, asking, pleading my partner to clean up our apartment. I've picked up here and there but it honestly just needs someone who can devote 4-5 hours to it. I've even offered to have someone come clean and they scoff at the idea and say they can do it and promise they will do it and then I come home to a dirty house...again.

And now, they've injured themselves and I'm going to be working outta town during the week. Which means even after being gone all week, I'll come home to a dirty house.

I'm just annoyed. If I could just clean it, I would but I physically don't have the energy to do more than a little bit, which they just undo before I've mustered in the eneu to get to the next task.

Send me patient vibes and energy y'all.
