In this story, a woman felt like she could not cope anymore after the way her boyfriend reacted after she came home from work. She worked while also completing college courses, and he was an unemployed college student. They had agreed on how to split the chores before they moved in together, but she felt like he wasn't holding up his end of the bargain.
After a long day at work, she came home and began cleaning up, after they had eaten together. Her boyfriend promised to join her after he finished gaming, but after two hours, he hadn't come to help. When she finally sat down, he began cleaning, but started being passive-aggressive. He got upset when she told him to leave her alone, but she wasn't sure if she had crossed a line or not.
College student boyfriend allows girlfriend to clean alone for 2 hours after work, complains when she rests for 15 minutes: 'He's been really moody'
Teamwork is the basis of all successful long-term relationships.
It might not feel like the most romantic way to think of things, but ultimately, most people prefer to be with a partner who makes their lives easier in one way or another. It takes true effort from both sides to make things work, and while this can't always be perfectly equal, it should be done in a way that makes everybody as happy as possible.
As everybody knows, there are all too many relationships out there where one or both people involved do not subscribe to this logic. However much this may benefit them in the short term, it is inevitable that sooner or later this causes some kind of friction. Without the right effort and communication, it can spell trouble when it comes to the possibility of a future together. Even somebody in love only has so much patience.
