Noticing a few things about my relationship with my boyfriend that I wanted to talk about today,,, I may be rambling on a bit here, please bear with me. I wonder if it has to do with the way we were raised or just the differences between men and women in general... We are very much in love with each other, but at times we tend to get on each others nerves...
I was raised in a mostly happy family, my mother stayed home, cooked, kept a clean house (which at the time was a sore subject because she was always harping about it), and we did a lot of things together. He was raised an only child with parents that did not get along very well, and worked opposite shifts, so there was always someone sleeping in the house, and I don't think his mother cooked very much.
Over the past year, we have had our share of troubles, mostly brought on by outside forces like other people interfering (like his mother), which we recognized and have thus far found a way to successfully resolve.
Lately we have been spending a LOT more time together because we are now working together and staying together most nights... (before some weeks we only spent one or a few days together) I am starting to wonder if some things I am overanalyzing or are things that need to be addressed since he has been a bachelor all his life. Like for one thing, he stays at my place quite often, and I feel like I am constantly picking up after him.... Like he leaves his rinsed dishes in the sink, instead of putting them in the diswasher, leaves the bed unmaid (when I have 1000 more things to do in the morning than he does, blablabla. Then, on the weekend, he goes and does guy stuff (works on his truck, goes hunting), meanwhile, I am here vacuuming, doing laundry, dishes, yardwork, etc... Another thing is his driving - he is one of those "every car needs to get out of my way" drivers.... Which I think is so disrespectful... We argue about this from time to time...
I know, this is probably my own fault, I should be out there today doing some fun activity, but I am a low stress homebody when it comes to the weekends... Or I am turning into my mother... My big adventure today will be going to costcos and the grocery store... maybe walk the dogs tonight... whiptydoo... When it comes to Sunday evening, I want to have it all done, sit down and relax together.
What is that old English saying...

"Man may work from sun to sun,But woman’s work is never done."
