Alright so my boyfriend and I met 7 years ago and we just moved in together last December. Obviously that meant getting jobs, which I am used to, but for him work was a difficult thing. He comes from a rich family who did everything for him and so he never had to work a day in his life. While me on the other hand came from nothing and was always having to fend for myself. Now I get that we have very different backgrounds but you think that he would get it after nearly a year. So here's the problem.

I am currently sicker than a dog (I have an autoimmune disorder so when I get the cold it lasts for weeks) and he works at Walmart doing five hour shifts and goes to school. I work at an animal hospital and go to school as well so we recently started getting really busy to where we don't have time for each other that often which sucks but I am getting used to it. We don't have anything to do today but the kitchen was an absolute mess since I made him dinner and brought it to work for him last night but after that I was wayy too tired and had to rest so the kitchen stayed messy. We came home and slept and woke up today. I rested some more and we ordered pizza cause we were hungry. Well the cat needed to be fed and the litter box cleaned and the kitchen as well. AND I HAD TO DO IT ALONE, AGAIN MIGHT I ADD. Now i get that you work and you get tired and all that great stuff that comes with adulting, but I think him making me do it alone is just adding the amount of upsetness. If I ask him to do it then it will never get done, which is the most frustrating thing.

Now I am not asking for a man to take care of me all the time like financially and everything but I would definitely like some help around the house. I am sick and tired of having to do all the cleaning and cooking while I am sick and tired. I have tried telling him that I know he isn't used to doing things like that but I need the help. I try not to get upset or angry but I just can't help it when I have to do all the work. I have to make sure the bills are paid and there's gas in the tank (because he doesn't know how to drive I have to drive him to school and work and pick him up and take him, I make like ten trips a day) and I AM EXHAUSTED. Now don't get me wrong I love him to death and he is great and sweet and funny and we get along for the most part but he couldn't be any less appreciative about what I do. Now I want to take care of him and us and spend a life together but not if that means I become a house wife one day. I have a future and a career. We just have troubles inside and outside the bedroom and I don't know what to do. On the bad days I think about walking out and on the good days I still think about walking away but his parents take care of our rent and I don't have a penny saved up yet.

Please help me...
