Her Boyfriend Accused Her Of Being Lazy And Not Doing Enough For Him When She Didn’t Want To Go To The Grocery Store On His Day To Go Food Shopping
This 23-year-old woman is currently attending university in a foreign country. So, since she is not legally allowed to work until her classes resume, her parents have been renting a place for her while she gets her education.
She also has a 25-year-old boyfriend who has been living with her at her place. But, she does not ask him to pay for any utilities or rent.
Instead, they try to split responsibilities. For instance, she is reportedly bad at cooking, so they agreed it would be better if her boyfriend handled that. He also helps out with the cleaning of her place.
Finally, they always split trips to the grocery store 50-50. Just yesterday, though, there appeared to be a miscommunication about the supermarket that sparked a big argument.
According to her, yesterday was technically her boyfriend’s day to go grocery shopping. And since the weather was so yucky, she was really just expecting her boyfriend to walk through the door with groceries after work.
He didn’t, though, which pushed her to ask what they were going to do for food.
“I don’t know; it’s up to you. You should go,” her boyfriend responded.
Now, at that point, she started to question her boyfriend. After all, she was wondering why she needed to go to the grocery store again after she just went the day before.
But, her boyfriend claimed that he went yesterday, too, to purchase some smaller items. So, in order to “compensate,” her boyfriend wanted her to help him out and go again.

And honestly, she was really annoyed by that. However, she actually just wound up apologizing to her boyfriend and claiming that she would go to the grocery store.
Still, he just went off on her– accusing her of being lazy and claiming that she doesn’t do nearly enough for him while he “does way more” than her.
So, she admitted to feeling like a serious jerk. And she really just wants her boyfriend to stop feeling so upset with her.
“But even after I apologized, he’s still mad,” she vented.
She did try to suggest ways to prevent having the same misunderstanding in the future, too. For instance, she proposed that they write down what days each of them is supposed to go to the store. That way, they can avoid any confusion.
But, her boyfriend wasn’t on board with that idea and claimed that if she wanted to write it down for herself, she was free to do that. However, her boyfriend said that he knows what he needs to get done and doesn’t need her reminders. Yikes.
So now, ever since the fight, she’s been left wondering whether their argument was really because of her “laziness” or if they both lacked some communication skills.
Can you believe her boyfriend doesn’t pay any rent or utilities but still says she doesn’t do enough for him? Does it sound like her boyfriend is taking advantage of her? Was she really being lazy by not wanting to go to the store on her boyfriend’s day? How would you have reacted in this situation?
