Got the W

I m25 has a girlfriend who's 23 and we've been together for about 3 years. She has been living in my apartment with me since our 3 month mark because things at her home were very bad and we felt this was a better choice due to me also living fairly close to her university.

I pay for everything, whether it's something that benefits the both of us or something that just benefits her. I also have been paying for her university because I make a comfortable amount of money even though I've only been in my career for about two years. Anyways, recently, for the past few months, my girlfriend has been under the impression that she shouldn't do anything around the house because that's "wifey duties." I ask if she could tidy up around the house since she's free 24/7 because she's on summer break (aside for her part-time that she only works weekends) and she gets upset and says "those are wife duties and that she wasn't gonna give me the whole package without a ring". I ask her if she could make me a quick lunch if I'm running late to work or at least put some ingredients in a grocery bag so I can make it at work and she gives me the same bs about how that's wife duties. It's even gotten to the point whenever I ask about trying new things when it comes to s*x, and she says the same things.

It just keeps getting annoying so finally yesterday, when I asked if she could pick up my dry-cleaning today because I would be working late and once again she replied with doing favors like that are for married couples, I lost it. I told her since doing simple tasks were for married couples then I wouldn't be paying for her next year of university, I wouldn't be funding her activities, letting her use my other car like it's hers, and she would need to start contributing to the house in-terms of bills or she can leave because of course those were things that only husband's did and I was in-fact not her husband. This resulted in her getting upset and claimed that I was manipulative and that I shouldn't hold things that I do for her over her head. I didn't care what she had to say and told her that if she wasn't gonna fix her view on helping her partner out with simple tasks, then I wouldn't help her as well. I then told her that I expected contributions for the bills until then, or I would kick her out. AITAH?

Edit: Thank you for all the advice! Even the ones calling me stupid, which really opened my eyes, and I really appreciate it. I'm just making this edit because it baffles me how some of you guys are assuming I'm using her for sex 🤣. I added how the "wifey duties" thing started affecting our sex-life whenever I asked to try new things. I don't hold it over her head, I just move on and handle my business. When we had our argument, I didn't once bring up our sex life but told her she needed to start doing more around the house and stop being, in my eyes, lazy. Also, to be using her for sex, I would have to actually have sex with her all the time. The rare times we do nowadays are on her schedule, and we just do basic things and then go on with our day.

Edit: Last edit before I plan to have a talk with my girlfriend because she's due to be home from her part-time. I've never wasted her time about marriage. From the beginning of our relationship, I was really transparent on how I wasn't looking to get married until my late 20s or early 30s. From the jump, I've told her if she didn't like that arrangement, then our relationship wouldn't work out, but she was adamant that she was fine with that as well. Yes, I suspect that she's acting this way because she wants me to propose that I've very adamant with not wanting to be married so young. I've reminded her several times throughout the years that if she's not like the arrangement and wants to get married, then she can leave and I wouldn't be hurt.

Take My Energy

I (31F) and husband (31M) have been together for eight years and married for seven. We got married fairly quickly (after eleven months) due to him rejoining the military in the middle of our relationship and the long distance was not working for us.

He never pretended to be anything other than who he is today, so that is my bad. He’s a BIG gamer, and I don’t have an issue with having a healthy hobby but he plays for hours every single night in lieu of spending time with me. He refuses to find a hobby that we can share together. I tried gaming and it just isn’t for me, there’s a couple games I will play with him from time to time but again I’m just not crazy about it personally. He’s not romantic, he never buys me gifts on holidays including my birthday or Christmas. I put so much thought into his gifts and I spoil him every year. But he can’t be bothered for me. It’s been a lonely eight years. I don’t feel seen, I don’t feel loved, I just feel so alone. And the worst part is, he is happy. I give him everything, I let him do what he wants, I had stopped complaining or asking for time together (until last night). So he’s all good. He wouldn’t change a thing, according to him.

So last night he sits down at the computer. I ask, “hey baby? Tomorrow night can we dedicate to just us and spend some time together?” He takes this as an ATTACK and goes on the defensive. He sighs and stands up, and says, “I guess I won’t play tonight!” And I insisted that he play and that I don’t have a problem with it, that I was asking about tomorrow night. He plops into the chair next to me and starts pouting and giving me attitude. Anything I would say he’d snap at me so I said, “baby PLEASE go play” and he yells back “I DON’T FEEL LIKE IT NOW”. It was like he wanted to punish me by not playing. He wanted to make sure that spending time with him was miserable for the both of us. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to reason with him and explain that I was talking about not gaming tomorrow night (tonight) and that he could play tonight (last night). He wasn’t having it. So I had to remove myself from the situation and I laid down to go to bed. He came in a short while later and I forgot I had my makeup on so I got up to get ready for bed. When I come out of the bathroom he goes, “baby can I ask you something?” I said yes. He asks, “did you know you were going to piss me off by asking me that?” I was blown away. All I could say was wow. And he goes “did you?!” And I say, “no, I in fact did not think that asking you to spend time with me would piss you off.” And he said, “I’m not supposed to be angry by what you did?” What I did?!? He says this as if I kicked a puppy or something…”what I did”???? After he said that I lost it and said “I don’t think we should be together anymore” and I locked myself in the bathroom and sat in there for a good thirty minutes remaining calm and trying to gather my thoughts. After that I got into bed and we didn’t speak, but we also couldn’t sleep either.

We haven’t really talked today but he did kiss me on the head once earlier today and said he loved me. But we didn’t spend any time together tonight like I initially requested, so I didn’t get what I wanted tonight OR last night.

I don’t know if I want to do this anymore. I love him. I’ll never not love him, I don’t think. But when is enough, enough? Should I keep trying? Anyone go through something similar?
