The man took it to social media where he explained his part-time work schedule during the day followed by two community classes after work.

Since his girlfriend did the work from home, he believed that she had the time to do the chores. The man described his work as to where he served for an army in past. After that, he started community college to become an engineer. He was then working part-time at a job that needed physical work.

Both of them meet every day for an hour. The man told that after his work he attended a class through videos and took down notes and did his homework which took up a lot of time.
