Hi everyone, New here and really looking to get some outside advice. Have read tons of stuff for awhile but finally posting for myself.

Here goes
I'm 27 and my girlfriend is 25. We live together and split the bills for the most part. And, no kids just us and our cat. Im a gamer and I like to have my time on the game to relax. it's my way of relaxing. I work 5 days of the week, I work anywhere from 40-46 hours a week roughly. I wake up at 4 am and get off usually at 2 or 3pm. My girlfriend works 3 days a week (3-12 hours shifts) 36 hours a week. she gets up at 6 am and starts at 7am til 7pm.

Here's where we argue. I make more money than her and I cover more of the bills when it comes to the groceries and personal stuff or for our cat. I'm fine with that and I never bring it up until she throws a fit for me not cleaning when I get home in the afternoons. instead I either take a nap or a I play my game for a few hours. I tell her that she has 4 days off a week can you just use one day to do the cleaning and she does that but then throws a fit later about it. She says that I'm taking advantage of her. I also always pay when we go out on any kind of date or event. I've even told her can you just not give me as much money as you do and just take care of the cleaning. It's honestly not that bad, were two people that work too much to cause any real messes. It's pretty much laundry and dishes that accumulate through the week. She doesn't want me to take less money from her and I feel like it's because she wants to argue about this all the time.

She says all I do is play my game after work and I should straighten up the place instead of leaving it for her and maybe she's right but I feel like If I clean then it takes away from my relaxing time and then when were off together on my only 2 days off vs her 4, I'm not allowed to look at my video game unless she's asleep.

Really looking for some honest opinions and advice. Thanks
