Then, she said that if he was so concerned about the mess, he could feel free to be the one to clean everything up. From there, the fight escalated.
His girlfriend claimed that the state of the house was never an issue until he started an argument about it. He admitted that as the conversation progressed, he started bringing up other things about her that bothered him.
“I steered the conversation to a wider range of issues, like her lack of putting effort into us (she’s always on TikTok; when I picked her up from work today, she had her earbuds in and was watching TikTok), her lack of contributing to the household (not cleaning up after herself, not helping get her kids to clean up after themselves), and little financial contribution,” he explained.
Despite his girlfriend constantly telling him that the reason she works every day is so that she can make money to chip in, she doesn’t contribute much to their monthly bills.
He also is not happy because they don’t have much intimacy within their relationship, and he doesn’t feel like his girlfriend is emotionally supportive, either.
“I told her that I needed to feel respected, and I needed her to be more involved and pick up her messes,” he shared.
In response, his girlfriend told him not to express that he “‘needs'” something from her. She told him he was materialistic and claimed that he was only upset about the house being messy because he had some childhood trauma that she thought he should work through.
