hey everyone
myself(F19) and my partner(M19) have really been struggling a lot lately. we’ve been together for almost 3 years now. i feel like majority of it has to do with maturity of course at our age. i’ve had to figure out everything on my own, and my life has not came easy to me. he works hard too, just not for any sort of achievement. everything has been handed to him and hes never had to face anything hard. while on the other hand, life hit me like a bus the moment i turned 18. i pay my own bills, (rent/phone/car, etc) and i have to pay my own tuition, and i also work 2 jobs while in school. its so hard and i am a relatively unhappy person because of these things. so in my free time, (which i dont have a lot of) i love spending it with him. i admire it and appreciate it a lot more than i feel like im receiving. hes always complaining about having to come to me, how he’s never home, and makes it seem like im expecting too much out of him.
i feel like a burden, but im genuinely busting my ass to prove myself. i feel like its never noticed. how did i get through this?
