My boyfriend demands I do all the cleaning after work

I’m a 50 year old woman , I work in healthcare , I work with mentally challenged people I work 230pm-12am 5 days a week sometimes I also work on a Saturday from 2-10pm … I work 40 minutes from my house so I drive that back and forth daily… I leave my house at 130pm and I don’t get back home until around 1 am … I live with my bf of 2 years , it’s his house and he makes sure I know that . He’s on disability makes around 850 a month , so he’s home every day , he does not clean up after himself or clean the house and he throws the mail down and trash on the floor around his recliner, we’ve had a issue with mice in the house , they pretty much took the kitchen over they been in the cabinets and counter tops and there’s droppings in such , I’ve asked the bf to clean all that up but has not so there fore I do not eat there I don’t dirty any dishes up and I also clean up after myself … the bf expects me to clean sweep cook dust the house and help with the outside work , I’m only off 1 or 2 days aweek , I’m tired I don’t feel like doing anything but he demands that I do all this even when I work and he does absolutely nothing but sleep all day and sit in his chair … I also give him 400 a month to live there and buy my own groceries, he receives food stamps as well but I buy my own stuff … when we go out to eat or do anything I pay for it all , he never does , says he doesn’t have money but I give him 400 a month and he doesn’t have a house payment just utilities, I feel like he’s in the wrong to demand that I do all this to the house and on the outside , am I wrong?

Tell him you aren’t his home health aide, give him the numbers to call, and get your own place. I’m pretty sure you can survive just fine on your own. He needs YOU, not the other way around. Basically you’re just there to supplement his income and clean up after him. You already have a job cleaning up after folks.

You work 5-6 days a week and give him $400 a month? Meanwhile he does nothing?! That’s not a man that’s a boy who is using you. You deserve SO much better. Doesn’t matter if it’s his house or not he’s supposed to be putting in the exact same amount of effort you are. He’s literally using you for everything… To pay for dinners, to have spending money, to clean up after him. You even buy your own food and still give him money?! :woman_facepalming:t4::woman_facepalming:t4::woman_facepalming:t4:

You’re a roommate, not a gf at this point

You’re wrong to be there. You pay to be a there for what you do all day. And have to put up with rodent. and trash. I’d feel like trash by the way he treats you. You deserve better. Love yourself and leave

Leave quick he using you you work then house dirty up you got to clean and he don’t leave real fast he will be okay.

Sounds like a dictator not a bf. Its all about him. Id say its time to start saving your money quietly and get the hell outta there. You can still love someone and them not be good for you.

No your not leave the sob

Know your worth!! You’re such a strong lady, I can just tell. You can get a small studio apartment for that or close to. Then you don’t have to worry about all of the unnecessary stress and mess!!

You’re being used my dear. You are not his mom or maid.

Tell your ’ boy’friend that house keeping is a partnership. If he not prepared yo do his share, he knows where the door is

Honey stay there for three months and save all your money. Do not go out to eat and when he asks say the same thing, you don’t have any money. Then move the hell out of there. If you don’t want to leave him that’s on you but at the very least do not live with that filth of a man child.

If you’re working not only should he have the house cleaned when you get home, he should also have your dinner cooked and your laundry done. He’s got it made! You could take care of yourself and have a lot less work to do.

From the mouth of a lady who is 108 yrs old- when asked, is she lonely, does she miss her husband…
“ what do I need a man for- All men want is a nurse and a purse!”

Oh hell No Leave Now ! You’re way better than that and deserve much better than him .

Leave and get a new BF

Why you saying there, leave and tell him to hire a maid.

You know, you don’t have to take all this on. You can live on your own with so much less stress and hassle. He offers literally nothing. Muster the courage to leave.

Time for you to find another place to live.

He’s using you badly, leave him, you deserve so much better!

I’d be leaving. There’s no excuse for him not to clean up after himself. If he can get up to feed his face he can get up to put something away or put trash in the can. I’m on SSI due to Cerebral Palsy so I can’t be on my feet all day long cleaning, but I still clean up after myself and my 2 yr old. I’ve been wheelchair bound and still did what I could to clean up after myself and her.

I read half of this…… get your own place, and bid him farewell! :wave:

He’s a jerk. Go get a nice place on your own. If you want to stay demand he sees a doctor for mental health care. He sounds depressed and taking out his woes on you. You allow people to treat you the way you want to be treated. Love yourself.

Love yourself , leave him .

It would save a lot of arguing and save your relationship if you just hired a maid service and be done with it. I don’t know what his disability is, but people are often in more pain than they let on or exceptionally fatigued. And I definitely say that you work way too much to be expected to do all the housekeeping. I would price check a few of them and pick an inexpensive maid service. :woman_shrugging:

Throw the whole make away you deserve much better

Hold on a sec. You work 5-6 days per week, pay him $400 per month and he doesn’t do anything? Why??? Girl please, you have to know you deserve better than that. Hell, you would be better off by yourself. Leave him.

You need to leave you can surely pay for an apt for yourself

Walk off and leave the bum!! If you can stay with a friend or relative until you get the money up for somewhere else to live and deposits for utilities. You can do a lot better on your own.

I’d be finding my own place. If his sorry azz is home all day and does nothing. No honey it’s time for you to move on and get your own place. Like I tell my daughter if you gotta do everything yourself and your man don’t work. Why do you need a man for!! You don’t!!

You already know the answers on what to do.

Have you looked at what you do get in return within your relationship?

Bitterness comes when you are out of fair exchange.

Talk to him. Speak from the heart. If things don’t change, it’s time to put action behind your thoughts ❤️‍🩹

Sure doesn’t sound like a boyfriend to me.

So you’re pretty much living with a man child. Run don’t walk!

Sounds like roommates not a relationship. He doesn’t respect you. You are working way too damn hard to not feel comfortable in your own home. Gain some independence and walk away from him. You will feel so much better!

That’s not how this works. That’s now how any of this works. Both should be taking care of the place one dwells. And by making sure you know its his house sounds very selfish and all around toxic. You’re not wrong. There are places you could live and not have to deal with this bs. Please look into it. You’ll be so much happier.

I’d pack up and leave asap
