I'm not in the best place right now and my boyfriends complaining is getting on my nerves. We've been together for a year and a half and live together. He's working extra hours- and by that I mean an extra hour or 30 min per day and another 4 on Saturdays. I get that it sucks, but he needs the money- he gets time and a half for overtime. He can also say no if he doesn't want to go. He plays pool twice a week with his buddies and he doesn't get home until after 11 usually. It's a long week!
But I'm in school full time getting my PhD and I'm working full time and making it work! I have a dog, take him to doggie daycare, still see my parents every weekend for a visit. I make it work all while going through a tough depression. I want to tell him to suck it the F up. Come on! Pull up your big boy pants and get it done!
All he does is come home and complain. He's tired, exhausted, fees crumby, it's running him down, etc. I mean then he is like- oh I think I'm getting sick. No, you're tired. U had Sunday to do nothing but watch tv. Yet that's not enough "downtime" for him he says. He wants to take a vacation but he hasn't accrued enough time at work. So he's only getting long weekends for Xmas and for thanksgiving. But he's quick to point out those aren't real vacations. What? Not a real vacation? My dad works a manual labor job and has to take Xmas off with no pay. Heck yes it's a vacation! Be thankful for what you have!
This weekend he had Sunday to do nothing- nothing. He legit watched tv all day and was still like- I'm exhausted. I told him he should go to the doc and get bloodwork and stuff. He just always feels crumby. My best friend thinks I should tell him he's complaining too much but I'm afraid he'll back lash and say I complain too much. I do. I know I probably do and I am always trying to think positively. It's hard though. I get it. I afraid to rock the boat. He's so sensitive. But it's really driving me nuts.
I don't even ask him to do laundry, vacuum or the dishes bc he's too tired. He offers but I say no. I'm gonna start saying yes. Screw it.
