My (F27) boyfriend (M29) said I was being unreasonable by expecting him to come home and make dinner for me after my bad day.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, live together, and are in a very stable place kinks wise. I'll call him D. I'm a student doing a second degree, and D is working, so I do most of the housework in addition to my studies, but he is much freer to cook because I have classes all day so I can't do that. He leaves for work at 7:30 am, and I generally wake up at 8 am. I go to bed at 10 pm but D stays up until 2 or 3 am playing games or watching videos.<br><br>D has asked me to give him his space after a long day at work, and I respect that, I give him space in the evenings, and I don't bother him. Although, I had an extremely bad day today. I generally have GI issues and had several meltdowns because of a lecture I messed up. Generally, I was not in the best headspace (D has been supportive of my mental health issues and assures me he'll always be there for me). I told him about my bad lecture while we were still on campus and he was pretty dismissive and didn't really care, he just told me not to worry about it and move on which is not exactly what I wanted to hear. <br><br>I got home at 4 pm and began tidying up and doing laundry, because we were expecting guests for the weekend. I was upset and my stomach was killing me so I decided to take a nap. After waking up and getting ready, I noticed D wasn't home yet and decided to go out and get us dinner, because I was in no state to cook (I forget to add that I was also sick as well). As I walked in, I saw D sitting on the couch, and I told him that I went to get dinner because I was in no state to cook. He immediately asked why I didn't make dinner and I repeated what I said again. D told me that he had a long day at work, was very tired and needed to rest (like I didn't, Jesus Christ). I told him "ok, but I wasn't feeling good either, so we both had long days". He said that didn't count because I was "just resting" on the days when I'm home. I replied "But you're just resting now". He blew up at me and told me I was being very unreasonable. I told him that I would understand if he didn't want to cook, but then I also didn't want to, and I still went out and got us dinner. He said "you did that because you wanted to but I didn't want to cook". Honestly, I was speechless.<br><br>I just don't understand. Is this a kink that I'm not aware of? Do I sound like a total AH? I'm also the one doing most of the errands because he leaves for work before I wake up. To make things worse, we have guests coming this weekend and I would have to cook/bake for them. Why am I wrong in this situation?
