Ok, well, everyone has shortcomings. I am sure there is some stuff that you do that drives her nuts. Well neatness is one of hers. Living together is all about compromise and communication. Honest communication, you need to have the sitdown with her and say " you know what this drives me crazy" It is true, you are not her maid, just as it is true that she is not your sounding board. Just because she doesn't do one thing doesn't mean that you get to nag at her. Compromise, if you do the dishes, maybe she can help with the vaccuming. My wife and I do this. She does everything laundry related, I do all of the cooking/trash stuff. She does bathroooms, except the shower/tub, I do those/ I do all of the floor cleaning. We have worked it out. You have to do the same. I have stuff from when I was single, so does she,but since we've been living together, it is ours. There isn't any mine/hers, there is only ours now. If the TV breaks you should share in the responsibility of paying for it. My wife and I got a joint checking account as soon as we knew we were going to live together. That way there was no mine/hers, only ours. Not any one person gets everything their way all of the time. That is immature, maturity is realizing that everyone is their own person with their own faults. Is this really something you want to end a 5 year relationship over? Dishes?
