His Girlfriend Has Been Sleeping Constantly And Not Helping Out With Any Household Chores, So He Gave Her An Ultimatum, And She Left
This 26-year-old man currently lives with his 27-year-old girlfriend, and they both work full-time. While he usually leaves for work at 6:30 a.m., though, his girlfriend heads out at 7:30 a.m. They typically arrive home at different times, as well.
One thing they have in common, though, is that they both enjoy taking naps after work.
But, for the past couple of weeks, his girlfriend has been taking “naps” that last the entire evening and even cross over into the following morning.
“She’ll get home around 6:00 p.m., say she needs a nap, and then I don’t hear from her again until the next morning,” he explained.
And at first, he figured that his girlfriend was just tired and didn’t think anything of it. But it has now been 12 business days in a row that his girlfriend has constantly been napping.
So, he tried to confront her to figure out what was going on. He asked his girlfriend if work was getting stressful or if she was feeling okay in general.
But, she reportedly just dismissed all of his concerns immediately. And no matter what he said, his girlfriend insisted everything was fine and that he should just drop the subject.
What really irked him, though, was that during the days his girlfriend took really long naps, he was forced to complete all of the housework alone.
Before she started going to bed immediately after work, they would always split household chores fifty-fifty.

“But now, it’s more like 99 to one,” he said.
For instance, he has been handling everything from walking their dog and cooking dinner to washing dishes and cleaning their whole home.
And he claimed that if there was a better reason for his girlfriend being MIA for household chores, he really would not complain.
Since his girlfriend won’t discuss the new habit with him, though, he doesn’t really know what’s going on.
So this past Friday, after his girlfriend told him that she was going to take a nap again, he finally snapped and yelled at her– telling her no.
Now, he admitted to being a bit aggressive with his girlfriend. But quite frankly, he was just really fed up– and he told his girlfriend that.
First, he pointed out how, due to her constant sleeping, he was getting saddled with all of the household work while she refused to admit that anything was wrong.
Afterward, he gave his girlfriend an ultimatum: either they looked into getting her help, or she needed to quit sleeping so much.
His girlfriend was not very receptive to any of that, though, and wound up just turning around and leaving for her sister’s house.
Later that night, he then received a pretty angry call from her mother– who claimed that he had no right to deny his girlfriend any sleep.
He did try to explain the full situation, but his girlfriend’s mom reportedly just hung up on him. Plus, his girlfriend has not responded to any of his messages ever since the argument.
Nonetheless, he believes he was entitled to be honest and confront his girlfriend about the situation.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong,” he vented.
But, with his girlfriend still mad at him, he’s been left wondering whether getting upset over his girlfriend’s constant napping was justified or not.
Can you understand why his girlfriend’s constant sleeping is really starting to frustrate him? What do you think might be going on that’s pushing her to nap so much? Did he broach the topic in the right way? How would you have handled this?
