    To be honest I just could not be bothered trying to make it work, I'd be off ! He won't change and I don't believe he is mature enough for a loving relationship.

    Sorry to be so blunt, perhaps I'm too intolerant or impatient !

    Good luck in resolving the issues.

    I don't know how old you are but I feel I've got less tolerant as I've got older.
    I'm divorced & I live alone.
    I would only live with a man again if he did half the cooking & chores.
    I have a cleaner - but anything that's left over I mean.
    I wouldn't be coming in 7 nights a week cooking for someone.

    If I ever live with someone again it will be an equal partnership, in every way. I don't need a man to support me, but I'm not going to clean up & wait on someone.

    My friend has the right idea, she was internet dating & said she wants good sex & nothing more. No domestic drudgery.
    She's actually found it to!

    I very much doubt that you will be in a fit state to type once your OH reads your demands.

    Surprisingly, a lot of gamers are actually getting on a bit! :rotfl:
    It's not just youths and teens, - a lot of men in their 40s and 50s spend hours playing computer games when they get in from work.

    Yes, that was an uncalled for comment I must say. I am prone to a bit of candy crush myself. I retract it.

    They should still pull their weight around the house.

    Did he live on his own before you two moved in together? Surely he knows how to run a house to some extent.

    My husband works full time, I work part time from home, but he still does about 50/50 chores. I do all the cooking, he does all the washing up. Make it routine and you don't need to ask or tell, it's just how it is.
