My partner (34 male) works from 3pm to 11pm while I (26 female) stay home with my 6 year old autistic son for now till I start working next week I get up at 5:30am to get my son ready for school and out to the bus I take care of the pets including his dog who tends to bite so she is kept outside away from the kids I make sure his dog is fed and has water I grow our own vegetables as it saves money and I do most of the cleaning (our roommates get the rest of the cleaning) when the kids get home I feed them snacks and someone's take them outside to play depending on the weather however my partner says I'm lazy and I need to "tighten up" as he says he doesn't wash dishes after cooking or eating and he won't do his laundry he tells me to wash his clothes so I told him since I have to start working to pay half the bills to lessen his financial burden and stress he needs to start helping around the house as it's only fair that if I must do both work at home and get a job then he should to as it will be more work for me to do both and all he does on his days off is sleep all day he just gives me a dirty look and walks away and this morning when I got up from a nap after sending my son to school I saw where he has torn down the kids swing set to take the metal to the scrap yard I was so upset as the kids who are 5 & 6 still played on it I confronted him on it as I don't have the money to buy a new one for them but he just ignored me for the whole day he has given me the silent treatment I am now sleeping on the couch while he gets to sleep in our queen sized bed alone even when he got home I was still ignored so instead of dishing up his dinner like normal I put it all away and cleaned up without feeding him I have told him many times I don't like being treated as a slave and I'm not his mama and every time he just walks away with an attitude I have asthma and I have asked him not to smoke inside as I'm allergic to the smoke but he still does it he even will use my cans of soda that I'm drinking as an ash tray so am I the a$$ for giving him an ultimatum of either fixing his behavior or to leave as I'm tired of being disrespected or last date was over 8 months ago on July 4th where he took me to spend the holiday weekend on the beach while my mom watched my son

Drop him like a hot potato. It is HIGHLY unlikely he will change his behaviors. You are already a single parent; getting rid of him will only lessen your burdens and responsibilities. I promise you’ll be much better off financially.
