Girlfriend and I had our daughter last August.  I did everything I could to make pregnancy easier for her even agreeing to some completely ridiculous requests such as sleeping on the couch and only using the bathroom on whichever floor she wasn’t on.  I was happy to try to make it even a little easier on her. 

After she gave birth I kept at it, giving 110%.  My schedule is basically get up, go to work, come home, then immediately take over on baby duty.   My girlfriend doesn’t work and for the foreseeable future has no intention of returning to work.  My job is one where I’m on my feet all day, lifting and moving things.  I’m worn out by the end of the day. 

I’ve tried bringing up just having an hour to put my feet up and recover when I get home and my girlfriend acted I was asking for a kidney or something.  Huge overreaction and bitching about all that she does.  I get it, she’s working too during the day, but come on there’s a slight difference between taking care of a baby and lifting and moving shit around for +8 hours a day.  She also said that my drive home should be all the rest I need and she doesn’t even get that.  I’m fairly certain the baby isn’t awake for the whole day and it’s definitely not like she’s cleaning here or anything.  That shit also falls on me for some reason. 

I don’t feel like an hour after to work is too much to ask. My girlfriend obviously disagrees.  I’d never tell this, but honestly I just think she got used to me kissing her ass and doing everything for her and it’s just become the new normal.  I’m not ok with it anymore.
