>boyfriend is unemployed
>I work from home but I'm underpaid
>I'm overloaded with too much work
>he doesn't want to take advantage of his free time to study but at least he tries to find a job sometimes
>he promises to help me to clean the house, but he only do it when I get stressed at the house being a fucking mess
>I had to keep working, studying and cleaning the house while he plays video games and sleep all day
>I'm starting to have bad performance at work thanks to stress and lack of rest
>I feel stressed seeing he sleeping while I need to work, then I can't do any proper work at all
>I'm starting to get angry at him and not wanting to talk with him because I'm angry and feeling alone because he seems to prefer to play games instead to be with me or help me
>I always talk to him about this, but I feel guilty by feeling angry and stressed so now I prefer to isolate myself
I'm starting to have intrusive thoughts about asking for a break up but I think this is just my brain trying to sabotage myself.

Get a better bf

No, your brain is telling you to break up with him because breaking up with him is the right thing to do. You can do better than this.

>Bf is unemployed
Only an issue if you're paying his bills.
>Overloaded with work
Do you have to do more work because you have a bf or would you be doing the same amount of work single?
>Free time vs studying vs. job searching
Don't concern yourself with him doing that. His time is his time and your time is your time.
>You have to keep working and studying
You'd have to do this anyway.
>Cleaning the house
Do you have to clean more because he is a slob? Things stay clean when they are picked up immediately after use. When you get home, the house should be the way it was when you left it unless the mess is because he's actively doing something with it and then it should be cleaned up by him when he's done.
>He sleeps when you work
Your work has nothing to do with his sleep. His sleep has nothing to do with your work.
>Anger at him for gaming
You can't control other people for gaming or doing other things.
>Guilt over anger
Don't feel guilty about being angry. I'm the type of person who isolates when I no longer want to fight. Fighting isn't fun.
>Prefer to play games instead of spending time with you
Set aside time for each other.
>or help you
He doesn't need to help you, but you don't need to help him.

Reading in between the lines though, it sounds like you need to establish some hard boundaries with this man of what you need for the relationship so you don't resent him. If you are paying for his food, stop. The need for someone to get a job happens when nobody else is paying for their food. He'd need to get a job or go hungry. Tough love because you need him to pull his own weight. He should buy his food, and clean his messes and you should buy your food and clean your messes. That's being an adult.

>Asking for a breakup
It takes two to stay together. It takes one to break up. If you end up wanting to break up, you don't ask for a break up, you tell him that you are breaking up.
