Throwaway because I don’t wanna ruin my “rep” lol<br><br>My 27 year old bf moved in with me about 4 months ago due to him losing his room to a cousin who was moving in. I have a 2 bedroom apartment, so he moved into my place and into the spare room. <br>He pays 50% of the bills and helps around the house. Or that’s what I thought.<br><br>The thing is, he’s become super lazy and does nothing to help around the house, and the little he does he expects major props for. He also became more demanding with regards to cooking and stuff, like he will ask if I can make him a sandwich and I’ll say “you know where the ingredients are and how to make them, you don’t have work tomorrow, should be able to make it yourself” and he’d say “yes, but I’m tired and would love it if you made me one, you’re awesome”. He’ll then pretend he forgot that I said no and ask again until I’m annoyed and make him one. <br><br>Before we moved in together, we lived alone in our own places so we both did all the cooking and cleaning for ourselves. So I expected him to still clean his own room and do the same amount of chores as me, and vice versa, but he doesn’t. <br><br>And don’t even get me started on how he never buys groceries unless it’s for himself. Like he’ll make himself a meal and not even ask if I want to eat until I ask him if he’s finished. He doesn’t even touch the dishes anymore. He leaves them for me and has actually told me that he’d appreciate it if I washed his dishes for him because it’s exhausting to wash his own dishes. <br><br>I mean, I get it leave some clothes on the floor, that’s not the end of the world. But it’s getting annoying when he won’t touch the trash can if it’s full, won’t help me clean the bathroom because he doesn’t “like” bathrooms, won’t share food (I’m the complete opposite, I always make sure everyone is fed if I’m cooking), leave his dirty socks on the floor in the living room, etc. I would’ve thought that living with someone would make our relationship more intimate and make us closer, but this has literally made us both more annoyed with each other. This is literally the only problem we both have with each other. <br><br>I feel like I’m being taken for granted here. He’s my first boyfriend and my first love, and I’m his first “serious relationship”, so I don’t know how to navigate this problem. I’ve talked to him about this and he told me to stop being a bitch.<br><br>What can I do? I really love him and I don’t want to see him go, but I also can’t live like this.
