Less than a week ago, me and my boyfriend were reunited after 3 months of long distance. Things have been going great between us, however, the past few days some things have been bothering me.

I took my bf out to eat at a very nice restaurant as a late birthday gift yesterday, and ended up spending $130 at dinner. Mind you, we are both college students. I had no problem with spending the money, however, my boyfriend barely talked at all that night because he was tired and he said his allergies were bothering him. During the whole dinner it was basically like talking to a brick wall.

Today, I cooked lunch for him. He didn’t do any dishes, and left as soon as he finished eating. I’ve been cooking for him a lot since we have been reunited, and I would like if he would at least try to pick up after himself, especially because I’ve been taking so much time cooking for him. Instead, all he does is complain about the smell of vinegar in my apartment bc I pickled some foods.

So I am kind of disappointed in my boyfriend. He’s been acting like a bit of a man child lately by getting moody and not talking and not cleaning up after himself. Is it okay to expect more from him? I’ve already confronted him about this stuff before in the past, but obviously he’s not doing anything to change it.

Edit: also I have pretty bad carpal tunnel and I have to take my splint off to wash dishes so I don’t get it wet and I’m not supposed to take it off at all, so you would think my boyfriend would at least try to help me out
