[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 307374, member: 2459"] My first question is "Is boyfriend's name on the lease?" If so, that girl needs to take it off IMMEDIATELY! I had a place with a guy once and was also the one paying for everything. I was young and dumb and while I knew this wasn't someone I wanted to marry...I still stayed. He worked occasionally but never for long and his money went towards pot (for him) and food for the resulting munchies. The final straw for me was the last fight we had in which I was hit for the first and LAST time. I left and he took my name off the lease. Which kind of backfired on him since I was the one paying for everything. LOL Otherwise...fingers crossed that she will have her eyes opened by this experience. I know she wants the three of them to be a family but if he's not contributing and then complains about how broke they are...maybe she'll blow and tell him to get off his donkey and DO something about it. Oooh....here's a thought. I know she knows about us here on the board. Maybe you can casually slip things into conversations with her....Stang told a funny story about how her husband tried to do a home project (himself to save money for the FAMILY) while he was on vacation and bashed his thumb...(I'll make one up for you!)....Matt'smom's SO was so happy to get a job so he could contribute to the FAMILY, Star posted to someone's thread and related stories of her ex and you're proud of her for leaving him and making it on her own......stuff like that. Hugs. I know it's hard to stand back and not interfere but the girl has to learn. This may be what it takes for her to finally see. [/QUOTE]
