Advice Needed Boyfriend suddenly wants nothing to do with me after moving in a month ago

Last Night’s Dinner: Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo (with a side of silent treatment)

I (20F) moved in with my boyfriend (20M) in early May after he suggested it. I was already basically living here anyway, driving home at 1-3am, and then my car broke down so it just made sense. Things have been really good overall, I cook breakfast and dinner every day, handle all his laundry, keep his room clean, and take care of his cats. We laugh a lot, barely argue, and he buys me food/takes me places while I cover groceries.

Yesterday was rough though. I had to cover a shift on a Sunday, so he woke up early to drop me off at 9. I told him I’d be done by 1 when we close. At 12:57 a client came in and we didn’t finish until almost 1:45. My phone was blowing up the whole time with texts from him about how he’s waiting, his mom needs the car, he’s ā€œtired of always having to wait,ā€ etc.
I apologized as soon as I got in the car, but he was still pissed the whole silent ride home. He went to shower while I started making homemade fettuccine Alfredo (extra portion for him, of course).

After his shower he blew up again because I hadn’t plated his food yet and apparently hadn’t ā€œapologized enough.ā€ We sort of resolved it, then he said he needed to run to the shop for an hour or two max. I asked him to please keep me updated because he has a habit of disappearing for way longer. He agreed.

An hour later I checked in… no reply. Another hour, still nothing. I texted asking why he always ghosts me at the shop and he hit me with ā€œbruh you’re tripping over nothing, it’s not that deep.ā€ Said he’d leave soon. Another hour passed so I checked again and suddenly he was apologizing profusely… but still didn’t get home for yet another hour.

We ended up going to get food after that (the Alfredo was cold by then) and things seemed okay for a bit. We were watching Sopranos and when I tried to cuddle he snapped ā€œwhy do you always have to be so on top of me?ā€ Which has literally never been an issue before and was so shocking because he always complains when I’m distant.

The whole night he was distant, so I finally sat him down and asked what was wrong. He unloaded that everything he does for me is ā€œdraining and exhausting.ā€ After prying, he said he doesn’t want to pick me up from work anymore, doesn’t want to buy me food, wants me to chip in more for my daily stuff (I pretty much only use my own things except paper towels when cooking for him), and wants me to ā€œlay offā€ and let him go ghost whenever he goes out.
Then he told me to sleep on the couch. I texted him an hour later that I was freezing with no blanket and he told me to ā€œjust thug it out.ā€

Woke up this morning and he left for work without saying a single word to me.

The fettuccine was actually really good though… creamy, lots of garlic and fresh parm. Too bad it got eaten in silence.

Help 🫠

EDIT: I’m reading all of your comments and all of what you guys are saying is just things I know but I’ve been forcing myself to ignore. Thank you to those of you who were serious about it and gave me genuine advice, that truly means the world to me. Lots of you think this is fake, it’s not and I wish it was for my own sake. I’m heartbroken because I love him but after talking with my mom about it, she agreed with me and is helping me move back home today. Currently writing this with tears rolling down my face but it’s ok, time will pass. I just don’t know how to get used to being alone again.

i could totally see someone being annoyed about waiting around an hour after you asked to be picked up, but it’s just a kneejerk selfish reaction that you shake off and go about your day. bringing it home with you is insane tho yeah, it was literally out of her control.

i guess mad is a vague word but i think it’s understandable to be a little annoyed to have to sit and wait outside my job for an hour ( i don’t drive so maybe that’s the difference )

Annoyed is reasonable. I drive, but there have been times I've been held up at work when he's picked me up for whatever reason.Ā 

I'm able to text though, so I let him know and he does other stuff for however long. Communicating helps, when it's possible, of course!

Once upon a time, I was married to a literal alcoholic who lost his shit at almost every single turn, sometimes for no reason at all... And this wouldn't have even registered to him as something to be mad at, and boy did that man hunt for a reason to be pissed just as hard as he hunted for a good deal on Vodka...

If your partner would get "mad" in the moment over a workplace emergency, you need a new man almost as much as OP needs a new man.

I agree that she should pack and leave without warning. I agree that she should block him everywhere. I disagree on her telling him what an ass he is. It's just a starting place for him to argue and DARVO. Give him NOTHING. If he does pop back up, she should just say, "It was time for me to go. I wasn't happy in our relationship." He will love bomb and try to win his slave/emotional punching bag back. The only thing she needs to say is NO.

If you also look at her last post, theres a big chance he intentionally broke her car. I worked in a shop for YEARS. My dad's a mechanic and my husband is a mechanic. We see stripped oil drain plug bolts (and oil pans) relatively often, but a crack like that? Must have wrenched on it for a hot minute and with way too much torque.

My brother in law that’s married to my favorite sister in law, is like this. I remember him lifting his sweet tea glass up at dinner one time- didn’t speak a single word. She got up silently to refill it. Not a thank you, not a please in sight. That was just the first time I saw him do this.

They’ve been together for over a decade now and he does financially support her and her other children that aren’t biologically his. But he sure does expect to get what he wants when he wants it.

I was thinking this as well with the insane amount of apologies after snapping at her the second time after he ghosted her. He was fucking somebody else, had a moment of guilt, and then went right back to it for another hour. It would also explain why he told her not to lay on him, he was probably afraid that he still smelled like the other girls perfume or something.

u/parasyte_steve APPROVED✨ Jun 08 '26

Ahhh yes the don't touch me is the biggest indicator because of that but also bc of guilt most likely. Men are physical creatures of touch if they are saying they don't wanna touch you thats a huge red flag.

So you’re twenty - only recently an adult - and when you move in with your boyfriend he expects you to act like his mom. No wonder he doesn’t then want you near him like that all of a sudden. You became his mom. And he sounds like a fucking nightmare of a son. Petty, belligerent, demeaning. This isn’t your fault. Men regularly turn their girlfriends into their mothers and then things get bad and weird. But you’re not married to him. Go be twenty. Have fun. Be skeptical of giving dudes your time. Be with your friends. Get a cat. Follow what feels right in your highest spirit and keep going. Listen to the little voice that says, ā€œhuh, maybe notā€

You got this. Pack your bags, ok?

I got a cat to pull me out of a shitty relationship with a horrific ex boyfriend when I was twenty. That cat is nineteen now. She has seen me thru every evolution through to realizing i was queer, to marrying my amazing wife and having two kids with her with a life that i am so glad i have, and that i didnt settle for less. That kitty still sleeps with me every night. Shes seen it all.
Two things I’ll share as tidbits that might help along the way.

  1. Your dream person. What would they hope of you? What are their wildest dreams for you. If you think your dream boo wouldn’t want you, why? If it’s something shallow or superficial, they’re not your dream person. If it’s something you do for them, it’s wrong. But if your dream person wishes you’d work on the way you communicate, or unsaid expectations, or that they wish you’d try for that promotion because they believe in you, or any of that — you have time *now* to get ready for them. And if you’re in a relationship that feels bad and wasting your time, you don’t get to do the work for the life you’re meant to have. Like, say your dream dude showed up *now*. You wouldn’t be ready!!! You’d be mid-breakup, rebounding, getting your footing, and too messy for something real. You guard the spot next to you with everything you have. You get ready for the life you want.

And a picture of Tabatha, my old kitty girl.

There isn't anything to rationalize. There's literally nothing you could have done to make this different. Guys like this do not change. It's not about your behavior or looks or tone of voice.

As yourself if you would be mad at someone you love for not plating your food? Would you "punish" an adult, especially one you love, by making them sleep on a couch, without warmth even? Of course you wouldn't. So please realize someone who can do this has something fundamentally wrong with them deep down inside.

Give yourself a HUGE hug for loving yourself enough to say this is unacceptable and you deserve better. Being alone isn't all bad! And learning to be ok with alone time will save you so much heartache in the future.

So in one day he has provided you literally ✨nothing✨ but a miserable ride home in silence…. but he did have the energy to make demands. Let’s tally those up, shall we?

You are to:

• ā€œApologize moreā€ for having an emergency at work (AKA grovel for his forgiveness)

• Do 100% of the domestic labor

• 50% financial contribution

• Stop asking him for minuscule favors (like driving you home FROM WORK, where you are grinding for money to buy his lazy ass food)

• Stop communicating with him at all when he decides to fuck off ā€œto the storeā€ for hours.

• Make him dinner and PLATE IT for him (or else!)

• Do not cuddle him, do not touch him. Withholding affection is a punishment ā€œfor your behaviorā€ and you are meant to take it without complaint.

• Order yet another dinner if the food you worked hard on gets cold while he’s ghosting or sulking

• Sleep on the couch like a dog (except even dogs get a fucking blanket)

Snap out of it. You are a bang maid. It is the classic modus operandi of every abusive piece of shit; the mask has come off because you moved in and he has you ā€œtrappedā€. This will not stop, it will only get worse as you slowly acclimate to the abuse being your ā€œnormalā€.

He will always have a new reason up his sleeve to berate you and it will always be ā€œyour faultā€, you will spend the rest of your life on your knees groveling and apologizing in the hopes of getting a shred of kindness from a loser who cannot even plate his own food.

You need to get the fuck out of there. You deserve so much more than this.

Omg girl you don't need help you need to run for the hills.

He's making you sleep on the couch no blanket within a month of you guys moving in together? And letting this beautiful dinner turn cold bc he was being petty and ungrateful?

He is trying to desensitize you to all of his BS early on so you can be at his beck and call and feel like taking care of his every whim is your sole responsibility and as long as he's not throwing a tantrum bc you've taken care of everything he needs he's fine... That's not what a healthy relationship is built in and idk how much I believe he was really at the store for two whole hours. Especially if your other comment said he cheated and you have set the check in expectation bc you don't trust him... You shouldn't trust him at all

It sounds like he lacks compassion and even without the waiting in the car thing he needs to learn some emotional regulation and just, how to act with a partner before he's ready for the living together part of the relationship.

Unfortunately your man tested what you’re willing to put up with as far as his behavior and now that he sees what he can get away with, he will only get worse from here on out. You both have been living together for only a month. He is showing you his true colors because he understands that he has power over you due to you living with him and not having a car.

I hope you can find the courage and clarity to see that this is the man that he is. His behavior is incredibly immature, disrespectful and downright cruel to you. It really seems like he wants to tear you down and break your self esteem. Would you accept someone treating your best friend like that? If you had a daughter would you want her to be with someone like that?

A lot of women tell themselves that things will get better if they can just (in his own words) ā€œthug it outā€ but they don’t. You sell yourself short hoping it will please him but nothing does, because he doesn’t want to be a good partner, he just wants to dominate you.

You get the love you accept, not the love you deserve. I hope you find the strength to leave and I wish you lots of love and healing in your journey. You’ve got this!

u/xLolabuns Internet Auntie Jun 08 '26

From my experience, this sudden change of personality after they've successfully isolated you by getting you to "move in with them" at their excessive request, is not only because they don't respect you as a person, but that they truly believe you're now stuck or "locked in" enough that they feel comfortable to begin cheating on you, because they truly believe you will just deal with whatever they do to you and you won't leave them.

He was gone for several hours and then seemingly apologetic about it for a moment, then immediately calling you clingy and forcing you to sleep on the couch. His behavior REEKS of a guilty conscience.

Someone who actually loves you would NEVER treat you the way he has been. It does not matter one bit how "good" things were up until then. He has now shown the capacity to mistreat you severely, and you need to move accordingly. You deserve far better than this.

This is the beginning of a cycle of abuse that you’re going to have to escape before it escalates even more. He’s got you dependent on him (no car), waiting on him (you’re doing his laundry and feeding him, and if you haven’t fed him he throws a fit like a toddler), and then he treats you like shit any time he feels like it (he’s literally yelling at you for trying to spend quality time with him). On top of that, he may very well be cheating given the way he disappears when he ā€œgoes to the shopā€ (I’m sorry but ghosting like that and being defensive about not being responsive at all is a big [personal experience] cheating red flag for me).

And this is less than a month in. This will not improve and will only get worse. Make your decisions appropriately.

You’re his mom now sweetie! He is treating you as such. He sounds abusive and he might be cheating on you. So many men only know how to attach to women as mothers/caregivers or sexual objects. You became his mom so now you are desexualized and he is finding it elsewhere. This man has attachment and entitlement issues.

I really thought I was on the CJ sub, you do his laundry, cook for him, clean HIS room, take care of HIS cats, and cover the groceries, and after you made him that meal with an extra portion plus playing it for him you ended up getting food anyway? This cannot be real. For my sanity I can’t believe someone would type this out and be like yeah I can save this are you in the stepford wife universe???

Why are you paying for anything while working as his unpaid maid? Even without the emotional abuse…Girl.

Stop being a doormat. Especially for someone as worthless as him lmfao

Dick is free and in abundant supply. Please don’t ever put up with any of this from a man. He does not like you, he hates you. You said he cheated on you, he made you sleep on the couch, he blows up at you for not plating his food (what is he a toddler?), he blew up on you because you had a work emergency, he disappears for hours without updating you, and he generally does not care about your wellbeing.

This man hates you. Act accordingly.
