I'm an 18 year old guy who recently moved in with my boyfriend and his 2 roommates (bro and bro's gf) I was in a very bad situation living with my mom, my mental health was horrible and so my boyfriend invited me to live with him. I've been here about 5 months and I'm slowly getting myself together. I got health insurance, a state ID, am learning to drive and will be getting my GED soon.
My mental health has improved drastically since coming here. I feel more energetic and motivated to do things. I'm happy to socialize out in the livingroom and have been working on my art a lot and gaining back my creativity. I'm gaining confidence and recovering from an eating disorder and finally have gotten back to a healthy weight. Overall I have needed quite some time to recover my mental state and get back to being a functioning person.
Anyways, since I have been doing all of this internal self improvement I have not had the mental capacity (or ability) to find a job but I have kept the house clean most days and tried to stay out of everyone's way, be respectful of their things, and ask if I want something which is not often.
Well BGF seems to have a huge issue with me. A couple of months ago she came in yelling at me and specifically excluded bf and bro, telling me I am dirty and need to clean up after myself. I was unable to defend myself and just dissolved into tears. I hid in my room, only coming out to anxiously clean up their messes when no one was around and to eat, use the bathroom, etc.
Finally I started hanging out in the livingroom again but I have continued to clean up all messes I see including theirs almost every day. Just the night before last I washed BGF's pot that had burnt rice stuck to the bottom from the night before, her greasy cooking pots (which I have an extreme aversion to because of sensory issues caused by my autism), and all of the wrappers and paper she left on the counter.
Yet tonight she is on the phone screaming about how I leave everything a mess and never clean up after myself. How rent is always late now (my boyfriend's rent is always on time and paid in full and he does the majority of grocery shopping for the house) and how shes ready to leave and sick of it.
She leaves messes constantly and so does everyone else. I am the only one who doesnt and simultaneously am nice enough to clean up theirs too without complaint.
I get that I need a job, but I need a GED first for the kind of job I can handle. The fast paced environment of a resturaunt or grocery store is too much for me and I inevitably experience extreme burnout and just cannot handle the pressure. I get that this isnt an ideal situation to be in. I get it. But I'm trying my best with what i have and i didnt anticipate this being a problem when i first moved in.
Yes, I know, I'm naive. I've never been in an adult situation like this before though, so I honestly dont know what I'm doing.
I dont know. I'm just starting to wonder if im the problem here. I truly believe I'm doing my best and this persecution is unfair but no one ever wants to think they're in the wrong, do they? I'm honestly at a loss on what to do and how to handle this. I love it here but I find myself wishing I would have never come here, if only to not place my burdens in their laps.
Tl;dr: boyfriend's Roomate is angry that I dont clean up after myself (which I do as well as everyone else) and that I dont pay rent while i am trying to work on things leading up to finding a job.
