Guy Gets Shamed By Girlfriend's Parents for Not Being a 'Real Man,' So He Quits Doing Chores

“AITA for doing the absolute minimum chores after my girlfriend parents implied I wasn't a man and she agreed with them?” –u/housework1998

The comment section

Needless to say, redditors in the comment section nearly unanimously agreed that OP was not the a-hole.

“Just want to drop in and tell you you are always enough,” said u/viichar, “just existing and doing your best is enough. I hope you find people who let you know that on a regular basis in your life, but you need to internalize that even if you do absolutely nothing useful, so long as you do your best not to hurt others, you're enough.”

“And wtf does she even bring to the table? Doesn’t do chores or cook or fix anything? She’s dead weight.” added u/natidiscgirl.

“If it’s wrong he doesn’t know how then it’s wrong she doesn’t know how.” agreed u/Chance-Ad-9952, “Everyone does not need to know how to fix something. Some people aren’t handy or they just don’t like to do it. As long as it gets done and you can afford it (or have a friend help) then what does it matter? She should know how as a woman knowing these things is important: she should be a responsible adult woman and know how to take care of herself (if she thinks that way) especially if he does the housework then she should take on the fixer role. Lol”

“Exactly!!” replied u/PICKLESnBILLITH, “That is exactly my belief/thinking as well! Being a self sufficient adult is important and that includes knowing your abilities enough to delegate/get assistance when needed.”
