Situation:
I'm 26 years old in quite a high management position, I work from home working late hours contracted for 40 hours but could be 60 or more some weeks.
The past few months work has been really stressful with constant restructures, unsure job security, difficult management issues and people creating problems I have to fix while they tell me how I should be doing my job like I'm an idiot.

Boyfriend is 25 years old and has been unemployed for at least 6 months and is not trying to find work. That's ok. Truth is he has a lot of money for compensation for an accident he had when he was much younger which he lives off, so he is having financial input with our bills etc.

My problem is he sits on his *** all week, expects me to do half the chores when I don't have the time for it and then leaves dishes out all week so I have to do them on the weekend, refuses to help me with them because I should've done them every second day throughout the week.

We take turns cooking dinner but some nights I get stuck in meetings and emergencies happen at work so I can't get away until 9:30pm or even later. He knows what's going on but will sit there and wait til I'm done so I can cook dinner to feed us. He doesn't once think maybe he could help instead of watching TV.

By the weekend I'm totally exhausted by work. I haven't been able to chill out with him all week because he goes to bed before I finish work and on Saturday morning I wind up sleeping until midday because I am so exhausted. I wake to him nagging me to get up because there are things he wants me to do.

We need to do the gardening, clean the fish tank, do the laundry, go out shopping for things to do more chores. He wants to do this and that right now and I have 5 minutes to get out the door. But he watches TV and plays video games all week when he could contribute. I don't get to do the things I want to do.

I have chest pain just typing this right now I'm so stressed and exhausted. I spend my weekends with him pissed at me and us arguing instead of trying to recover so I can face the next work week.

I've tried to talk to him about it. It he doesn't understand. He winds up googling what is wrong with me then nagging me and getting aggressive with me saying I need to go to a sleep clinic because I sleep til. On every day after working til 2 am. He doesn't want to be my housemaid but he doesn't want to get a paid job or anything either.

What on earth can I do to stop all this??? I love him but he's driving me crazy. I know I'm not being perfect either, I should try to get up earlier but I'm so tired and stressed and depressed it's so hard when I have to get up to him telling me how to live my days
