Ask a Man 15 OCT '25: 'My partner is obsessed with me cleaning at his place.'

Anonymous rekindled things with her ex about a year ago. He broke up with her the first time they dated because he felt like he couldn’t provide for her “as a man” should. After getting back together they spoke about expectations they have of each other but she now feels like he’s expecting too much from her, especially in terms of house chores.  They don’t live together and he expects her to perform all kinds of chores at his place and she doesn’t understand this. She wonders if this is a red flag.
