It’s the busiest time of the year for her online business, and she’s been doing it for years. She makes a lot of money during this time, which allows her to work less during the year. Her boyfriend moved in with her, and she told him that she can’t do any chores in November/December. He dismissed her, and they had an argument when he realized that she was serious. He called her a lazy b**ch, but she refused to argue and went back to work. Is she really the a**hole for following through with her plan?

A woman who runs a small online business from home has been accused of being a lazy b**ch by her boyfriend after she refused to do any chores during her busiest work season. Despite warning her boyfriend in advance that she wouldn’t have time for household chores during November and December, he dismissed her concerns and was left frustrated when he was left to do everything himself. The woman is standing by her decision, arguing that she needs to focus solely on work during these two months to make enough money to take a full month off in January to decompress. However, her boyfriend believes she needs to have a better work-life balance and accuses her of disappearing for two months. What do you think? Should the woman prioritize her work during this busy season or make more time for household chores to keep her boyfriend happy?
