Hello Everyone! I live with my boyfriend. He’s 37, and I’m 30. He is going to school to get his PhD, he was a divorce attorney and completely hated it. It was going to give him a heart attack if he continued, so I fully supported him going back to school and getting his PhD so he can teach. I work full time, and I have to get up at 5 AM for my job, I get home around 5 in the evening. After that I go work out, and I’m in bed by 8, at the latest 9. All of my boyfriend’s classes are night classes, and he only has classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So, the rest of the time, he’s home. The other day, he said his only hesitation in marrying me is that “our standards of cleanliness are very different.” My reply was, well I’m sorry I work 40 hours a week, but I’m not going to be manipulated into being the ‘good wife.’ Which I feel he was manipulating me. If anything gets done around the house, its me doing it on my time off. Am I being unreasonable? Any ideas?
