Relationship Issues

I would have to say this the heart wants what the heart wants even though he's a little lazy and don't help out around the house you put up with it. Sit him down and explain to him what you need from him. If you don't work outside of the house, you have to work inside. Let him know you're not his mother.

Well said! If you don't look out for you, no one will.

It's good that you talked to him but, hold him to it! DO NOT let him drive your car especially if you can't afford to replace your car should he wreck it. No license then no insurance will cover you if they find out you allowed him to drive it. Definitely hold him to helping around the house if he's home all day. There is no excuse for NOT helping you out there. With kids houses won't be spotless but, the dishes can be done and things picked up and heck..dinner on the table or at least started. Resentment can build up and override any love that's in your heart so if you feel you love him but, this stuff is buggin' ya...definite say something and hold em to it.

Good luck!

Where to begin this might be lengthy but I need outsiders opinion. I been with my boyfriend six years he has worked off and on but mostly hasn't worked. I love him and he does some house work and helps with our 2 kids. He is a good man to me but as I am getting older I want things like a nice house and to live comfortable. He has a GED but no education beyond that. I have a college degree and support all of us and I'm just sick of it. He lost his license and has been driving my car and all I can think if he gets pulled over or wrecks it I have no money to fix it or get it out of impound an I work an hour away so I need my car. It's 300 to get his lose de back so once I start making money again since I been off for surgery I will have to pay it. He isn't known for his good driving or lack of crashes. He has been looking for work but not as much as I would be if I didn't have a job. He has changed a lot since we first got together he is a way better man but I'm sick of supporting him but I love him and have told him he needs to find work to help out. My question is am I being shallow cuz money is the issue? I'm sick of working so hard and not getting ahead and I went to college to better myself and not be broke' date=' what should I do? I want all opinions nice or not.[/quote']

I'm old fashioned. Sure there are plenty of stay at home Dads but the answer to all problems can be found in your Word (Bible). The man's role is to be the strong one and provide. I left a man once who told me that he was gonna stay at home and care for the kids. I told him if I wanted a wife i'd get one. Surely if I can get up and work everyday certainly the man should be able to as well. I applause the man that will work at McDonald's or any other low paying job as opposed to sitting on his ass letting a woman support him.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
