AITAH / getting the ick from my boyfriend

29(F) 28 (M) ok so my boyfriend and i have been dating for 3 months, but physical for 6 months. i asked HIM to be my boyfriend 3 months ago, even though he had really only taken me on one official date. since we started dating he has only taken me on 2 more dates, and has been at my house pretty much every day (i live close to his work).

for context: i work 2 jobs, full time at an IVY league school, and 2 internships.

He works one job 5 days a week

he is VERY sweet, patient, funny, and attentive and always asks how my day was, remembers cute things about me, and gets me flowers every couple of weeks.

when he’s over and isn’t working he just plays video games all day, and doesn’t have any hobbies and never sees his friends. he literally hasn’t hung out with his friends in 3 months basically.

it’s starting to ick me he has nothing going on and just kind of works a dead end job with like no pay…considering i am working very hard to be a lawyer and currently do a lot.

however, i feel like im getting the ick. the other day i made dinner and i came home the next day and the dishes were still dirty. when i went to clean them (very obviously furious) he didn’t even offer. i then proceeded to pick up all of his clothes from my apt. i got very angry and kicked him out, which i know was rash. i just felt like i do so much and if he’s over, the least he can do is be super extra helpful. AITAH if i ask for some space?
