Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost two years now and I sometimes get agrivated because I feel like I do alot more then he does around the house and also the things I do for him. So I was wondering if anyone eles has this feeling in there relationship?

Your boyfriend probably doesn't feel the need to make the relationship 50/50 since he apparently hasn't made a real commitment to you or you would be married. Lots of girls make this mistake.
I really don't think anyone should enter a relationship expecting it to be 50/50. Are you going to draw a line down the center of the room and you vacuum one half and he vacuums the other?
If you really love someone and are totally commited to the when you begin a relationship, you will both do whatever needs doing just because you care about the other person and want to make their life happier and easier. When we start figuring out that our partner isn't doing his or her share, I think real love isn't there.
Just my opinion. Hope things work out for you.

First of all the reason we arent married yet is because i am not ready for that yet he asked me and i said yes but im not ready to move foward just yet. And my point was it would be nice if i wasnt the only one cooking every day or cleaning and if he asked is there anything i can do for you.

Really it should be 50/50 =)
I agree with you. My wife and i have been married since last may but we've been dating for nearly 4 years now. we have a realationship were we look after each other, i don't take her for granted and visa versa. I work and she looks after my son while i can't, we pretty much share what we do. it might not exactly be 50/50 because some days i look after my son while she sleeps and i'm getting read to get off to work.
every little bit helps and he should do his best for you. honestly don't settle for anything less because guys are happy for you to just do what they want and thats taking you for granted at the end of the day.
Chin up okay! =)

yah i had, i loved my gf alot, she did too, but to me it always seemed like she doesnt do enough, but i always do my best. Sometimes it realy hurts as u want the others to do as u urself do, so it's better not to ve any expectations as everyone r nt same.
