[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 426606, member: 1233"] Shari, exactly what does he expect to happen over the next months or years? With your relationship, I mean. Does he honestly think that you will continue to keep him around when he is like this? When he does nothing, admits he does nothing and his "trying" counts more as "trying to get her off my back" than trying to help be a partner to you. You have said that you pay 95% of the bills and expenses. What does he expect to happen when you finally have had enough and kick him to the curb? Will he still see his daughter? I doubt it - you seem to do all the work involved in having her with y'all and in parenting her. What does he think will happen to his $$. Maybe you should start charging him a fee for room and board. He does NOT sound like he believes you will EVER leave him. It really seems like he thinks all he has to do is improve a LITTLE for a few weeks until you "get over it" and then he can go back to the way it was where you did everything and he watched tv. I am sorry. I had hoped he would really show some honest effort and make an honest attempt to carry his share of the load. in my opinion your life would be a LOT easier and less stressful with-o him. Just think - if you kick him out the Broom Closet will have to go with him!!! I am sorry. I just don't see him EVER making any real changes in your relationship that would be positive from your point of view. I wish I could be optimistic about this. Have you sat down with a pencil and calculator and figured out what your finances would be without him? Including lower grocery bills, etc...It might be a free-ing experience. [/QUOTE]
