I (21F) work a maintenance job. I work 8-10 hours a day and I’m always on my feet. I work with machines, plumbing, etc.
My boyfriend Matthew (20M) does not have a job currently. He goes back to work next month. So for now I am the breadwinner.
I come home and I’m immediately greeted with hugs and a clean house. He doesn’t let me get anything of my own (if I mention I need to grab something he’ll get it for me) and he does dinner every night and says he doesn’t need help. I only do the dishes after dinner.
What he’s doing for me makes me feel so tremendously loved, and he doesn’t ask for a single thing in return.
I was talking with my friend Barbra (23F) and she said what I was doing was wrong, and that I should pitch in more. My partner seems content with what he does, so should I be forcefully helping??
AITA for not being more pushy when I ask if he needs help?
