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.

I would be happy with a girlfriend who did 5 hours of house work..

Maybe he wants you to do it barefoot as well.

Wanting an unemployed member of the house to contribute is not in itself sexist. If he was telling her that she can't work, and that her only job should be maintaining the house, then your comment would be legit.

Sounds like a great boyfriend you got there

I work on average 60 hours a week, my fiancé works 25 or so. I don't expect him to match the hours, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the housework to get done. Maybe your boyfriend only brought it up because he feels you aren't pulling your weight OP. granted he wasn't very diplomatic about it but some conversation is needed.

Thanks I agree!! My man works and I don't. Therefore I clean the house, the litter boxes, feed and take care of the animals. It's only fair. He shouldnt have to come home to more work when I'm home all day!!

I do agree if he is working that much and you dont work. He should be able to come home to a clean house ith dinner made. Same thing if the roles were reversed.

I don't think the roles could reverse In this situation, unless the wife Is an alien or some other creature that could get him pregnant.

I agree. Keep it clean, pregnant or not. I don't care if you're a guy or girl, if your significant other works more than you do, you should pick up the slack by cooking or cleaning... Anything productive. I mean, we're all for equality, right?

F him, OP. You don't need to help out. Besides, you'll probably be insensitive and ungrateful either way.

No that's why you do live with someone! So you find out when it's boyfriend not husband!!

As long as you are healthy and are having a normal pregnancy, you should be able to do your regular housework. But if something is preventing you from doing it or you just don't normally fill fifty hours with chores, don't fret! Once the baby comes you'll fill that fifty-hour quota in just over two days!! The life of a mom is exhausting....but SO worth it!!! Good luck!
