I'm probably a bit too old to be on these threads, but I need some unbiased perspective, so here I am.
I'm in a live-in relationship with my partner for a bit over a year. We keep having this recurring fight about chores and how I fail to uphold my end of the tasks. I do forget very often and while I end up getting a boost and maintaining a routine for a month or so, I end up falling back to not doing them.
From my perspective, I have gotten better, forgetting/neglecting to do lesser things off my list as and when I bounce back. But this has become an exhausting task for my partner, who is tired of having to repeatedly badger me. He tends to explode in frustration all at once.
I feel horrible about being the way I am. I'd really like to improve and have been/am actively working on it, but I don't like being so frustrating to my partner.
Is this a normal thing? Or are we maybe incompatible? I don't want to give up on us, but I don't like feeling like I'm a burden in the household. Some perspective from those with more experience than I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
