Need to vent

My partner has never really helped out around the house like I wish he would without me asking or begging but now we have our one year old and now it’s almost never he does anything. He takes care of her but even that’s at a minimum. He will change her, feed her as in give her a bottle but now I have told him she needs solid foods it’s like he downer want the mess so doesn’t want to give her anything but snacks if that. I’m the one who bathes her most nights, preps her food for her to have, makes the plates for him to give her if he wakes up before me etc. With that being said, I feel I have to pick up after him on a lot or be responsible for more than just one child, and now he isn’t working so the added stress of the worry over money and all doesn’t help. We have been together for almost three years and the same tasks I’ve asked for help with he still won’t do on his own, every blue moon he will but that’s it. Today he shaved and left the hairs on the bathroom vanity and after I mentioned it to him he brushed them in the floor and I will later have to sweep and clean up the bathroom along with everything else I have to do. He says none of it needs to be done but it does, no dishes get done means no clean dishes to eat with or on, not cleaning means a dirty house, no trash going out means my one year old gets in it, I just don’t know. He told me he would take care of the trash outside when the can got full but ever since it gets full it goes and goes and goes and the other day he bitched about it and said how is it his job to pick up trash off the ground cause he didn’t take it and a animal got into it. Then of course he expects me to be normal and want to have sex and it’s not like that when I feel I have to care for a man child too.

I’d say that you want to have a conversation about the direction of your relationship, choose a nice time, make a nice meal etc, and then say you’re worried about the direction of your relationship and how you’re managing having a child and running a home together. Say that you appreciate him but that you need some things to change in order to improve your mental health and the wellbeing of your child. Say that you really want to come to an agreement on these things so that we can all move forward and work more harmoniously and live happier in the house. These things are………

If he kicks up a fuss, he’s not mature enough, not willing enough or doesn’t value you enough to sort things out..so I’d start making a plan to leave him from there

@Aimee I mean the thing is I’ve had over and over and over conversations with him on how I feel I don’t have a partner in things and he says ok, I’m right etc but that’s it and where things stop and nothing changes. The hard part is I don’t have a job per se to make enough to put aside to leave and things are so hard right now.

I told mine if u hate me telling u to do stuff then take initiative.. he always says the men are the leaders so I told him he doesn’t lead by example I always have to tell him what to do

@Luz he is definitely not a leader himself
