Dumb question butis a relationship healthy/sustainable where one person is doing 90%+ of the work? I am in a 5 year relationship and find myself doing majority if not all of the cooking, definitely all the cleaning, picking up, washing dishes etc. Currently in my mid 20’s and our relationship started off this way. It didn’t bother me back then but now it is and I don’t think it’s sustainable. To make matters worse, there’s no intimacy and I find myself giving her more massages than we have s*x.

If you give that much and there is no intimacy…AND you give her massages that don’t lead to intimacy…AND she’s not depressed…AND she travels often…it’s time to leave or to do some investigative work

Not sustainable at all.

Resentment, bitterness compounds. Especially when bottled inside.

You’ll start demanding and expecting things because you carry the burden.

The relationship will turn transactional. I do xyz, i deserve abc. Etc.

Have an open and honest conversation. Make clear and direct Communication a priority in the relationship and actually talk about it. What they want, what you want. How they’re feeling about this etc.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship.

Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
