    I have brought the issue forward to both her brother and father on multiple occasions. Her father does the other 5 nights of cooking and apart from that, nothing else. I do understand why, however, as he runs his own business which by the books he works 40hrs a week when it reality it’s closer to 70hrs. Her brother, on the other hand, has thrown multiple tantrums despite being 20 years old and a stay-at-home part-time University student. On one occasion after saying that I was sick of doing everything, he even tried to get physical and his father had to step in.

    I should also note that it’s very rare that I even get to start saying what is wrong. As soon as a conversation seems to lead towards me being upset or not content, my girlfriend shuts me down with the “I’m not good enough” and essentially refuses to listen.

    Thank you both for your advice and I will use some of the suggestions you’ve both put forward 🙂

    Hi anita,

    Thanks for the reply. The issue with the living situation doesn’t really have many options. Currently, both my girlfriend and I don’t earn enough to live by ourselves as we are still saving for a car. I’d rather not move back into my mother’s as like you say, it is likely my relationship improved with them due to not living there.

    There is the chance of living with my other older brother, however, that is only if he manages to find a house to rent in town where I NEED to live for work and future study arrangements. I currently depend on what little public transport my town offers to get to and from where I need to go.

    I’m okay with dealing with the current living arrangements as once my girlfriend finishes her first year of work and earns her qualifications, we will be able to move. That will likely not happen for a while. The main issue is the problems between us as of late.

    Thanks,

    Luke.
