Friend is mad at me because my partner doesn’t work
My fiancée is 23 and has POTS, EDS, autism, CPTSD, and degenerative disc disease with a bulging disc and pinched nerve. Her back is so bad they said it was like seeing someone who was 80 years old. She hasn’t worked in two years because all of these things have gotten worse for her as time went on. Now my friend acts like she’s a bad partner for not working and it’s so annoying.
She will be bed ridden for days because of the pain and because my father didn’t have a job growing up my friend thinks I’m falling into the same pattern as my mother when my dad had no disability and just mooched off my mom because he’s a bad person.
Despite being in pain, she still cleans the house for me and cooks me dinner and lunch depending on if it’s my day off. She never complains about doing this stuff but now my friend is saying our relationship is 80/30 and it’s not fair to me. All I do is work, clean the litter boxes, unload the dishwasher and clean the bathroom. My partner does everything else, if she didn’t have these disabilities she would have a job and we would split cleaning evenly.
It’s so annoying and frustrating how she talks about my partner when she was actually in an abusive relationship before and I never bad talked him to her ever. I’m getting fed up and she keeps canceling when plans involve my fiancée because it bothers her that badly. My birthday is this weekend and if she cancels on me I think I’m going to end our friendship after 20 years. It’ll be hard but I can’t have people in my life who don’t support my choices and make me feel bad for choosing the person I love.
It’s also not like my partner isn’t trying to get disability either, she’s been doing it for two years now and they’re having to take her case to federal court because they keep denying her and her lawyer thinks it’s unlawful and the judges only see she can speak clearly and thinks she’s not disabled. Sorry for this being so long I’m just fed up.
