Relationship stress

honestJar5435 August 17th

Hello guys, i joined this not too long ago and i feel as if im back on here from time to time. And it's always the same reason. I'm 20 living with my boyfriend of almost 4 years. He's the most loving teddy bear i have ever met. The issue is that.. we dont quite understand each other. He also has a bad track record of keeping empty promises.


Today, i called him out for blowing through 3 packs of 8ths. He didnt blow through it himself he did it with his friend. Now, i was at work and i needed an uber ride home and i asked him if i could use his card he said yes, BUT he also said "dang i cant get any more now". So naturally, that made me feel weird because how are you so comfortable blowing three packs of that with your friend with no complaints, yet i ask u for an uber and it's like wow. I paid him back his 9 freaking dollars.


(i never ask him for anything at all guys)


also made me think, in the past 4 years that we've been together i've only received 2 presents. Which is a ring and a necklace.

i just feel like it's not fair because i do things for him.

He says he busts his butt at work. But what about making me feel special? When he comes home i make sure theres food, when showering i wash his hair, when i see something that he might like (food, clothes, etc) i get it just because but for some reason he can't do the same thing.


sadly, i am also tired of running the relationship and always constantly leading it. Im the doer, the organizer, the planner. He's the follower and throws money at it.


anyone at all is welcome to share their advice.

Especially ones who have went through this. Please i need help.


because at this point i'm not sure if im just being childish or what.

hello and no you are not being childish and yes it is something others deal with.

Guess what if you do not fix asap this will be your life as long as your with him... IT does NOT change no matter how many times they say "i'll try". Why would it they THINK you love doing it. 

 I did for decades... Now i resent  HIM and all the time and effort and.... ALL  i got  was half thought about last minute "gifts" that were NOT me i did NOT like.

I am NOT his mom ... I am NOT his paid assistant to go fix the things he barely does... things or are scrambling at last minute to do things that have a deadline.   He once stole my TP from the bathroom i use more as he just uses the other one because he was too lazy to ask ..... as  he  Claims  He "did  not know where we keep the supply" . 

Mine also will eat or drink things without a care in the world if i wanted any... i buy things for meals or recipes and he uses it for something else "giving"  me an errand to go to store. 

why did i stay because he was the main money maker and our finances and assets and combined and i will lose much in a divorce. so now we are roommates it sucks all feeling away fro the relationship.
