So me and my boyfriend have been living together for nearly 6 months.

I knew he was messy, it I didn’t realise how bad. He’ll literally wait until we’ve used every single plate, pan, cup etc before doing any washing up..... the place looks like absolute 💩 because he’ll throw rubbish down wherever, and just doesn’t clear up after himself.

I try not to nag, but I absolutely hate it.

I love him but I don’t want to spend all my time clearing up after him.

We’ve talked about it, and I’ve said how much it bothers me and how I hate coming him to such a s**thole... he either just gets annoyed at me as he thinks I’m nagging or disappointed in him, or he promises to do better and never does.

I’ve got to the point where I’ve stopped clearing up after him, stopped doing his washing... getting him to help me when I cook for us.

But I don’t know what else I can do. I’m sick of it, and I feel annoyed at him all the time.

I don’t want, or plan on, leaving him in case anyone suggests that. I want to work it out, but I don’t know how else to communicate it, or make it better.
