Today, my boyfriend told me that because he works fifty hours a week, I should be meeting an arbitrary quota of fifty hours of housework, and if I don't, I'm insensitive and ungrateful. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me four times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift two days in a row, because apparently that's "insensitive" of me. FML
Today, I was told I'm lazy by my boyfriend because I skipped work. He skips his all the time and when I get home still have to cook and clean up after him. FML
Today, I finally landed a new job, and thinking he would be proud, I told my boyfriend. Instead of congratulating me, he got mad that my work hours include Saturday, his laundry day. FML
Today, I called my husband when his shift at work ended to talk about what we needed to do this weekend. He got angry and asked if he could have "five goddamn minutes" after work to get home and change before I started "throwing the fucking to do list at me." FML
Today, my girlfriend told me I could sleep in. Twenty minutes later, she was banging on the door, yelling, "Get up, fat lazy fuck! It's seven o'clock, we have chores! You expect me to do everything for your worthless ass!" FML
Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML
Today, my husband was working from home, so I asked him to clean the living room and basement. He started yelling about how he needs to focus and that I can't be "constantly distracting him." Sorry for expecting you to care for the space you live in, dick. FML
Today, after my boyfriend used to tell me that, with his demanding job, he just didn’t have the time or energy for a meaningful conversation with me. Thanks to COVID, he works 90% less now, finding time for online college, cooking and new furniture, yet didn’t invest even one extra minute into our couple. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML
Today, the previously charming guy I've been seeing for the past two weeks tried to introduce a weekly sex quota into our relationship. FML

I wouldn't normally bash OP's significant other, but considering your name, I'd say he's either pulling your leg, or he's kind of a dick.

If you're not working then yes you should be cleaning up. Doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl.

Just lie and said you did housework.

My mom is visiting my fiance and i for a few days and i have been cleaning the apartment on and off for three days. It doesn't take much, but like #97 said, just do little tidy's up. And if by CLEAN he means moving heavy furniture and what not to really clean then you might want to get a doctors note stating that you cannot lift heavy or move heavy objects. I mean that is if he wants you to keep the baby.

I was so confused about the "keep the baby" part... But then I read the name of the poster...

Can't this guy find the right job for himself & stop taking out his bitterness on you & the unborn child? If you hate your job so much you can't put in 10hrs overtime, you're in the wrong place! It's not as if the overtime is unpaid. I can only speak for myself, but I'd be happy to work an extra 10hrs/wk @ time&1/2 pay & skip all the way to the bank, laughing. Also, has he thought of putting some of the extra income toward a cleaning service? Better watch out, this same guy may expect your baby to pitch in on cleaning, get a part-time job, or even breastfeed itself. FYL.

I see your name isn't accurate. just because you get 1.5x pay for overtime doesn't mean everyone does. did you ever think that there isn't "extra pay" and that all the money is already spoken for with bills and groceries?

Sounds fair to me? Get a job and work fifty hours a week, or clean the house an equivalent of fifty hours a week. Unless you're just a selfish lazy slob I guess...

with pregnancy you are rewarded, with a child, with a new human, with a complete or soon to be complete family. with work, you are rewarded money, which will probably be spent on the baby and other stuff needed to raise the family (i.e bills, school, etc) if OP's bf is willing to work 50 hours a week, i assume that is about 10 hours a day if he doesn't work on weekends, then "dick" or "douche" must be removed from the list of words that descirbe him. period. he's probably just stressed out, and pregnant or not, OP needs to put some amount of effort. 50 hours, too much, but otherwords she should stop being a pussy.

Um he works his ass off to support you. Being a housewife is the easiest job ever come on. Ydi.
