His Girlfriend Never Cooks, Cleans, And Requires A Ton of Attention, So He Isn’t Sure How To Tell Her That She Needs To Act Like An Adult
This 23-year-old guy has been dating his girlfriend, who is 25, for just over six months now.
And he revealed how he genuinely loves his girlfriend and feels like their relationship has been wonderful.
But recently, he claimed that he has been feeling some strain because his girlfriend does not really contribute to certain adult responsibilities.
For instance, she does not know how to cook and never really has any food to eat at her house. So, he is getting pretty tired of wasting money on fast food all the time or simply always paying for both of their meals.
It is also important to note that he and his girlfriend both work full-time jobs. At the same time, he is also attending college online.
“So I have a pretty busy schedule when it comes to finding the time to do my college work along with everything else,” he said.
On top of him always either cooking or buying them food, his girlfriend has apparently also required a lot of his attention lately.
And he feels like he just does not have the time, money, or energy to constantly cater to all of her needs.
He claimed that she barely cleans her own apartment, never cooks, and always wants to be with him every waking minute of the day.

And he doesn’t think it’s a huge problem that his girlfriend wants to spend time with him, either.
“But she just can’t understand that I need time to do my stuff and will get upset when I tell her that,” he explained.
And this has really started to get under his skin. However, he is not exactly sure what to do about it.
He is afraid that if he calls his girlfriend out for not acting like an adult, then she will just break down again– because, apparently, he has already told her that in the past as a sort of joke, and she just burst into tears.
So, if his girlfriend reacts like that, he knows he will just feel like a jerk, too. Still, he really just wants his girlfriend to change in order to better their relationship and take the load off of him.
That’s why he’s been left wondering how to tell his girlfriend that he cannot handle her immature behavior anymore.
Is it fair that he feels responsible for handling all of his girlfriend’s adult needs? Would you feel worn out in this situation, too? How do you suggest he confront his girlfriend about the problem? Do you think she will understand or not?
