I come from a poverty-stricken country and have always struggled financially, whereas my live-in partner, who is much older than me, has earned enough to finance his modest yet stress-free lifestyle for the rest of his life. We agreed that he would pay most of our costs and I would contribute whatever I can. I am now doing a PhD and working freelance in my remaining time. I am ambitious and want to become financially independent. I almost never spend money on entertainment, clothes etc. However, as I work so much I pay less attention to house cleaning. I do clean well by my standards, but my boyfriend is obsessed and cannot stand a dish left in the sink. He says the house should be spotless because he is paying more. I feel he is ungrateful and unappreciative of my efforts. Am I being unreasonable?
