DOUBLE STANDARD

Healing from a current relationship breakup made me realize a lot of things. We were in a live-in setup, but I had the higher income bracket. To be quite frank, it was okay with me to be the one bringing in the money. My only condition is try your best to give back in other ways. So during the time i was 36 weeks pregnant, I didn't have the energy to cook, clean, and do the household chores. My partner that time was unemployed, and context we were living near his side of the family. Even if i was in maternity leave, I was providing for my household, the food, the necessities, and sometimes even vices of his, I pay for. The thing is I don't do household chores anymore, he does. So here comes the catch, he claims and whines that I was "LAZY/ TAMAD" because I wasn't doing my part in the house that "WOMAN" do. And yet supposedly, in a traditional household, the man provides. He was unemployed, unable to even contribute to the pregnancy and my birth, and yet, I was the wrong one in his eyes. Why do people think that way? He wants to be a King with no kingdom. That's the reality. He wants the benefits of the king but not the responsibilities. I genuinely don't regret taking my child and leaving him.
