There are two sides to every story, there are two people in every relationship.
Op has given us one story, one in which the BF is lazy and borderline abusive.
They moved into this house ONE WEEK ago and OP is already upset and distraught over the BF giving her a hot time over fixing up a house he does not own. OP gives the indication that SHE bought the house, not him, not them, SHE owns it.
Perhaps people.. PERHAPS, this issue isn't as cut and dry as it seems.
The TLDR does not match the context of the post.
TLTR; my boyfriend is angry and passive when asked to do things around the house.
OP's do things around the house sure doesn't sound like (in context) doing the dishes…
OP said:
There’s still so much to get done in the house … which so far has been DIY
( This certainly sounds like to me that OP has dumped all the DIY chores onto the BF and is upset he's not getting to them as quickly as she would like. It sounds like she invited a handyman into her home and is mad that he's not doing the job while she gives him free roam and board.
IF you stop for a second, remove the all men as shit stick up your collective ass and realize there are actually TWP people here, and read what OP has said, it sounds
MORE like:
He doesn't wan't to jump up when asked to the banisters, replace the toilet, fix the plumbing, patch the hole in the wall and paint.
INSTEAD OF:
He won't do the dishes.
I also must ask why the OP thinks her BF is Mr. DIY and able to do all of these things, men are handy sure, but we're not born with a hammer in our hands.
That said, I agree with all of you here, he's a bum, he's an abuser, he's controlling, he's an asshole and she should kick him out immediately and find another handyman to help her fix up her new house. At least then she can hire a real handyman and he can get someone who cares more about hi than the non-working bathroom sink.
I think it's time to take this relationship around back and shoot it. Though looks like you already did just finish the job.
CONTEXT IS KING.
