LONG RANT 🙄😬😩😡
So I have been in a relationship with my S.O for almost two years, we pretty much moved in together as soon as we got together, but he doesn’t pull his weight anymore. Tonight for example he was playing video games while I cleaned up and then made dinner, all I asked is that he loaded the dishwasher after we ate. I went grocery shopping, came back, still just playing video games. I just went out there to see what is going on and dishes are still out and he’s still playing video games. LITERALLY ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS PLAY FORTNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! God forbid I want to actually spend my day off doing something with him or ask him to do something while I’m at work because I can almost 100% guarantee it isn’t going to get done. He won’t get off unless I legit go in there and tell him to or if none of his friends are on! And if I ask him to get off I hear his friends say things over the mic like “is that your owner?” I’m so fed up with being with someone that I feel like I also have to parent! We both work, but he makes a lot more than me and works a lot less. I’m talking works two or so days a week when Im working 5. It’s one thing if he were to play while I was at work and get off when I’m home, or compromise and not play on my days off or even just one of my days off but apparently that is to much to ask from him! I’ve had multiple discussions with him about it but nothing changes. And the worst part is that he is horrible if he loses! He gets angry and even breaks things (including his remotes) sometimes. I’m at a loss. Finally tonight I told him I’m done putting in effort to spend time with him while he’s playing video games and that I want a relationship with an adult who is also proactive about things and invests the same as I do. Now he is acting VERY distant and hurt even though we have talked about this so many times and it shouldn’t have been a surprise. I feel bad but I don’t feel like what’s been going on for months is fair to me😭
