My girlfriend troubles, help?

My girlfriend doesn't ever listen to me. I give her a place to live and I take her too and from work. But when I ask her to do the laundry and clean up the house and clean the bathrooms, vacuum the place, cook dinner and pick up and pay for the groceries. She says I don't appreciate her. And she doesn't listen when I ask her to do all those things everyday. Seeing as I gave her a place to live she should do all that and more and not complain about. How do I get her to listen

    I think she doesn't want to feel like a slave, that's all. What if you offer to split up the chores? A relationship is give-and-take, and yes you are giving her a place to live and taking her to and from work, but if she feels like she has to act like your maid and just do everything else then I can understand why she would feel unappreciated. I mean, you live there too, and I'd hope that when you make a mess that you'd clean it up, not her.

    You should also try explaining to her that you do appreciate her. Sometimes girls just want to hear the actual words. Maybe then she will try to give more in the relationship. But really, split the chores up.
