writes: I am a 28 year old woman I have recently moved in with my older partner and his teenage son. Although I love my partner dearly and I am a very strong and out spoken person I cant help but feel I am being taken for granted. I dont just mean in the normal way as in that the woman does the most around the house but in a way that they seem to be ungrateful or critical of every thing that I do. I have spoken to my partner about it but it seems to fall on deaf ears this may seem silly but im getting really depressed about it its not nice when people make you feel your not good enough

 Nobody can take advantage of a person unless that person allows it, so stop letting those two get you down. If they don't like the way you do something then tell them to do it themselves. Make sure you are only doing your fair share of the housework. If you still are unhappy you know where the door is. Good luck!

 Next time they expect you to do everything around the house - say no, that you will do some and they should do some work too.
Don't keep on saying yes all the time, they have obviously gotten used to you just doing all the dirty work which is not good.

 Sounds like he is using you and expecting you to "earn your keep" "be grateful for the roof" etc.
Stand up to him and say NO, if he continues to not listen then make him listen to the sound of your feet as you walk away and dont turn back.
Life is to short to be anyones doormat.
If he has been married in the past, he maybe expecting you to measure up to his wife, he maybe replacing her with you and that is not fair.
Sort it out and if you carnt then leave, dont invest any more time into the relationship.
