My girlfriend loves to say "we"

To be clear:

You left the kitchen half-painted?

Your flooring isn't liveable?

Was it 6am when the snow needed to be blowed or did she just mention it at 6am?

And you can add to the list, "Well, well.... and meanwhile, what have 'we' been posting about me on the internet?!"

She is not my beautiful wife wrote:

She’s passive aggressive.

Probably manic bipolar too.

Kick her to the curb. Let her be someone else’s problem. There’s plenty of fish in the sea that aren’t mentally defective.

This is the truth

Those are things my wife would say, but I never let her get in such a position when she was just my girlfriend.

Bro, We need to get out of this relationship.

Just wait until she says "we're pregnant."

Counter with "we" need to watch the game this weekend, or maybe "we" need to have the boys over for game night, etc.

Dude, they all do that.

You young guys are hilarious. You can't counter this. They keep coming at you. You only have one move and that is not to marry and they will rope you into that also.

Why do you think on average woman survive longer? Because, we lose the will to live.

Every response on this thread is potentially good advice. Or bad advice. There's no real way of knowing because we have no further context into the relationship. She might be a great partner in general, but just has an expectation that the man in the relationship should do the bigger home maintenance tasks, and the OP is apparently annoyed by this.

My advice? If it really bothers you, talk to her about it instead of internet strangers. Unless it's just a minor annoyance and you're just venting.

You guys live in a house together? Sounds like YOU need to get your priorities straight and either propose or cut it off

I don't think his point was that they had not figured life out, it was that "we need to" really means "you need to" and he is frustrated and looking to see if this is normal. Yes, it is normal....those are your jobs, among others; get on it.

She's asking for help in such a way as to not appear too bossy. Would you rather have her say, "Would you finish painting the kitchen?" "Will you install new flooring?" "When are you going to finish the kitchen?" Am I missing something? Why do so many of you guys consider women the enemy?

If his GF would have a good communication style she would just say: "Would you finish painting the kitchen?" "Will you install new flooring?" "When are you going to finish the kitchen?

This "we" thing is super annoying since probably she won't do anything of it.

I would toss such a lady in a minute. Wait, I would not have such a lady in the first place.

Brothers wife is psycho and she pulled 'we' in answering for him early.

He's a doc. She's a housewife.

Yet, she knows all about his job and his day. Answers we.

She puts 'out of office' on her emails when she goes on vacay.

The kids are a mess. Behavior is a disaster. Life is toast.

True.

Although you left out the persistent checking on the will and insurance to be sure she will have plenty when you die.

Does she ever say We need to have a 3some?

Yes, but she means her and two other dudes.

If she is a serious girlfriend, the "we" is par for the course. Accept it. At. least she identifies you and her as a couple. After having daughters, I am flabbergasted at their need for security and their notion of unity for a couple. But there is a good side to it also-she is in your camp.

That’s funny.

And another thread where they delete the original post but leave the thread up.
