‘Eventually he wakes up, comes downstairs, and says, “Hey, you didn’t cook or nothing?” and I’m like ???’: 25-year-old man complains that his girlfriend didn’t cook for him while he was asleep and only focused on hair and makeup

I'm surprised she is actually asking herself whether she is being inconsiderateWe're in 2026, and some women still think their duty is to cook and clean for their boyfriends. It doesn't matter whether the boyfriends contribute in any shape or form to the relationship; they're simply not expected to. In fact, they're not expected to do anything but exist and be catered to by their girlfriends.I thought that dynamic was a thing of the past, but as I read more and more stories from Reddit, it seems that it isn't. To me, this type of dynamic is a valid option if it works for you, of course, but at least we should try to make it fair. If you're supposed to cook and clean, then your boyfriend should be supposed to do something else; at the very least, support you financially.That said, I'm glad the internet exists nowadays because the woman who posted this story is getting to a much broader audience than she would've years ago. Maybe, at another time, she would've told this only to her family, and she wouldn't have been able to hear different takes and opinions.Also, if you want, the internet can give you anonymity, so you can talk about things without fear of being judged or recognized…
