Unemployed Girlfriend Shuts Down Boyfriend’s Demands By Telling Him “Didn’t Go To Med School To Be A Live-In Maid”, Drama Ensues
A partnership that endures forever is one in which both parties are more understanding of one another’s priorities. It does not, however, imply that they have unrealistic expectations of the other spouse. Individuals should be taught that some tasks are entirely personal and best left to oneself, and that no one should enter a relationship expecting to be the other person’s housekeeper.
OP was an engineer, while his partner worked in healthcare. She recently left her work to take a short break before her next placement. OP and her girlfriend split the household expenditures and responsibilities evenly. However, OP suggested that her girlfriend share his cleaning tasks because she had a lot of free time at home. OP expected her to clean dishes for him, open his mail, and put his clothing away after he returned from work, which was unfair. OP’s girlfriend clearly said that she was fulfilling all of her responsibilities and would never do more because she was contributing 50% of the expenses while unemployed. Read the entire story to grasp OP’s perspective, and then express your thoughts in the comments area below.

13.Redditor dislikes those types of people who throw their clothes anywhere after coming back from work.

15. Indeed! OP should not ask her to open his mail, no matter how close their relationship is.
16. Redditor supports OP’s girlfriend in this situation as she was already doing enough work.
17. Obviously! Working in healthcare means she is a doctor.
18. Redditor states that OP’s behavior shows his manipulative nature.

It is clear based on OP’s narrative that his girlfriend was a doctor who was preparing for his next placement as a specialist. She really needs some downtime to unwind in order to get ready for her next test. OP ought to be more understanding of her circumstances because being a specialty doctor requires many more years of rigorous study than becoming an engineer. His expectations were unreasonable because, whether his partner is employed or not, it is entirely OP’s obligation to open mail and place clothes in the right location.
