Current Events > It's really nice to have help with household stuff when you feel like crap

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been really sick (finally on the tail end of it) and my back's messed up so I've needed a lot of extra help with household chores... and I haven't been able to cook meals for my SO.

it made me feel really guilty (especially because he's working full time and I'm technically off work because of my back rn) to ask for help, but it's so awesome that he's willing to help - especially now that there's two people that make dirty dishes, incur grocery costs, rack up laundry, etc.

he doesn't really cook like i do but we've been getting mostly stuff that's easy to fix up and doing our own thing.

it's nice to be with someone understanding.

(Being single is easier in the cleaning department because no one knows if you live like a wild bear... LOL.)

just feeling grateful /blogfaqs

Sounds nice, stuff like that is important.

I do almost all the household chores and my partner deals with the organisation and money side of things, it works well. I feel like crap a lot with pain and mental health stuff so having some help would be good but I understand it's not really possible. The important thing for me is that I feel appreciated and cared for. In all my relationships where I've either lived with them or spent a lot of time together I've done the majority of housework and never felt appreciated.

It's a crazy feeling being loved and respected by someone, actually being in a healthy relationship for once
