Today, my boyfriend did the washing as an attempt to help me. Not only are all my clothes now pink, he refuses to do the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom, ironing etc., as he has done "plenty." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my boyfriend set up a very romantic dinner. Afterwards, he offered to wash the dishes while I went upstairs and relaxed. His way of washing the dishes was to scrape all the food off, then wipe the juices off the dishes with a paper towel before putting them back in the cupboards. FML

Toxic masculinity = No housework

Today, my boyfriend got upset after I politely asked him to do the laundry. He takes every chance he gets to act macho and brag to people about how he's in the Marines, but apparently he is too much of a pussy to act like a man and clean his own clothes. FML

Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML

Today, my wife said I shouldn't wash or iron the clothes, or do the dusting and vacuuming, because, I "don't do it correctly." Also my wife: "You don't do anything to help around here." FML

Today, my boyfriend was tidying up around the room. I asked him if he'd like me to help, to which he responded, "No, I don't need any help," then added, "Wish you weren't so lazy." FML

Today, and ever since my boyfriend moved in, I've learned just how much his mother did everything for him and never taught him how to adult. In the last month I've had to show him how to cook, clean the house, do laundry and drying, use the vacuum, pay household bills, and he still moans its too hard. FML

Today, I discovered that my boyfriend, the one who does all the cooking in the house, doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me that I have the bad habit of not doing the dishes before he has his daily piss in the sink. FML

Today, I asked my SO for help with just the laundry, which translated into him only washing his clothes. We're married with multiple kids, and I currently work 2 jobs. FML

Never enough

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

I'm surprised you'd still want him to help after he just turned your wardrobe into Barbies' dream closet.

So in other words, he is freeloading off of you and getting sex?

well... it depends if you work or not or if he works or not... if he works and you don't. STOP bitching and do something useful... if you work and he does not. either get a new BF or lay down the law that he needs to clean more/ do dishes... if you both work you should divide EQUALLY...

Even a housewife or gf who staus at home deserves a break sometimes. If that is the case, bf.should at least do the yard work and vehicle maintenence. Especially if she is at home with young children. She.should not be expected to do everything. And bf should not treat her like a maid either. I quit my job to stay with my daughter full time and I think working as a nurse was easier! At least at work, I had adult peers to talk to, and regular breaks.

Next time you guys are about to have sex go down on him til he is about to blow then stop, get dressed and refuse for him to finish from anything you do and tell him that it is time to stop as you have done "plenty"
