Is it normal to end a relationship over my gf's pets?
So I have been dating this girl for five years now. Over the last two years we have lived together in an apartment. Everything has been going well and we don't fight often but when we do it's always about her pets. She has two cats, and her mother's dog also stays at our tiny one bedroom apartment a few times a week.
The thing is I'm a very clean person. I don't like to live in filth and so I take time everyday to do a little cleaning and then once every couple of weeks I'll do a big cleaning. Well her two cats and her moms dog make things impossible to keep clean. The amount of time I spend picking up feces wiping up piss and scrubbing the floor is unreal. Her older cat misses the litter box all the time and her younger cat pees and throws up in hidden places around the apartment.
The problem is I am the one who takes care of them. She goes to school and work while I work nights. So I feed them three meals a day, walk the dog, clean their litter, and somehow I even got stuck buying their litter and food. She knows I despise them as I've already told her but she still doesn't take responsibility for them.
She just loves cuddling them and taking pictures with them and I get stuck doing all the shitty parts of pet ownership when I don't even get any joy out of being around them. I'm at the point where I'm thinking of moving back home. If anything just to show her how much work it is to actually properly take care of them.
Is this a good reason to end a relationship?
