“I started to become agitated because, if I’m being honest, I want to feel coddled and taken care of during this time in my life, not pushed to do chores.”
Plus, her boyfriend wasn’t asking for one meal but a week’s worth of food right after her long chemo session. He is also more than capable of making food for himself. Although he works early mornings, his schedule typically allows him to get out in the earlier hours of the afternoon.
Additionally, she’s felt she’s been a supportive girlfriend to him thus far. She offers him whatever food he has whenever he’s at her place. She doesn’t want to center all of their conversations around her illness, so when he visits, she’ll give him a back rub and ask how things are going.
He got very upset when she told him she wouldn’t be able to make his meals as soon as she got home from chemo. He told her his love language was “acts of service,” although that typically only involves him taking the trash out and helping her with little tasks here and there.
He called their relationship “one-sided” and sent her a bunch of angry text messages.
“I didn’t argue back too much because I’m not much for arguing,” she said. “He doesn’t even do that much for me.”
What should she do about her boyfriend?
