I live with my girlfriend and recently got a promotion at work alongside exams that I have to complete from work. I’ve started noticing I’m getting tired a lot more often and drained a lot more. I decided to have 2-3 days to myself to just relax and recharge each month so I don’t get burnt out. With these days I would just stay at home, catch up on Netflix, play some video games, read etc. I won’t even leave the apartment.

I mentioned this to my gf and her response was just what about if we wanted to make plans, what about if there was something happening that we wanted to attend. I just reiterated that I needed the time to myself to avoid getting burnt out. She asked what she was supposed to do when I had my day to myself and I just told her I’m sure she can think of something. I pointed out I wasn’t kicking her out of the apartment, I would just be doing things to relax all day so she’s free to do whatever she wants.

She just repeated that I was being unfair by have 2-3 days where I refuse to do anything without any concern for her despite her living with me. I just see it as me needing some time to recharge each month and if my gf asked for the same then I would understand.

AITA for taking 2-3 days a month to myself to just do nothing?
