My boyfriend (M23) and I (F21) have had the most fairytale sort of relationship, we met each other while we had no intention of being in relationships but fell hard on the first date itself (it was 25hrs long). Now we’ve come a long way and both our parents know and accept our relationship and all of us know we are dating for marriage.

Now the issue is that the only fight we have is that he thinks I’m lazy. I have a lot of mental health issues and therefore it sometimes makes everyday things such as doing my skincare, washing my hair, going for a walk, climbing up the stairs multiple times etc. difficult That being said I’m not disgusting I do the bare minimum to be clean and smell good but unless I really feel like it I don’t do more than that He thinks that doing skincare and going for walks and such will make my mental health better and I do agree with it but I really just don’t have the energy for it a lot of the time, and he gets angry about that, he’ll either yell at me once or ignore me for an hour (we live together btw) This is literally the only thing we fight about, can y’all give me some advice on what to do

TL;DR
mental health makes “extra” everyday stuff hard, how to explain to boyfriend who thinks these are necessary things
