He Was Going To Propose To His Girlfriend, But He’s Now Considering Leaving Her Because She Quit Her Job, Doesn’t Contribute Around The House, And Doesn’t Evenly Split Expenses
This guy and his girlfriend are currently in their late twenties and have been dating for just over five years. In fact, their five-year anniversary recently passed in August.
They have also lived together for four years, and according to him, their relationship had been going wonderfully.
“We don’t have cheating issues or physical problems going on,” he said.
That’s why he was actually ready to propose to his girlfriend this year. But now, he is starting to have some second thoughts after she recently quit her job and basically expects him to take care of her.
For context, he feels as though he and his girlfriend made promises to each other in their relationship in regard to the division of labor. Yet, he doesn’t feel like she is holding up her end of the bargain.
For instance, his girlfriend never cooks or cleans. Instead, she just leaves him to handle it all by himself.
“And because of this, our house is a mess, and we order food constantly,” he revealed.
Over the years, they’ve also made many plans together for their future. Nonetheless, they’ve never been able to simply stick to them.
He admits that he is not perfect, and he doesn’t expect his girlfriend to be, either. Still, he just cannot understand how his girlfriend is okay with just doing nothing in their home.

Not to mention, they don’t even split the bills evenly, and his girlfriend has been going to school full-time since last fall.
“And she has hinted that she’ll opt to be a stay-home mom if she gets pregnant,” he added.
So, overall, he doesn’t think this is the kind of relationship he signed up for. They’ve gone to therapy about this, too, but he doesn’t believe she will ever change.
“I thought I had someone who had ambitions to succeed with me, not just watch me struggle to support a family,” he vented.
That’s why he is now genuinely considering leaving his girlfriend. However, since she cannot support herself, he’s not sure whether ending the relationship would make him a real jerk or not.
Does it seem like he feels trapped in this relationship because of his girlfriend’s lack of financial means? Should he be expected to entirely support her? What would you do if you were stuck in this situation?
