WireRazor: Your girlfriend beats the living snot out of you. You're all bruised up with a bloody nose. She claims to love you afterwards - keep her or dump her?
MudBugs: Between two 20 year old girls whose bodies look exactly the same, one who never works out and other who always does, take the one who works out.
His lease is up in April and he went ahead and signed on for another year without discussing it with me. Not that he has to check with me on things, it's just that it would be nice to be kept in the loop about things that affect my life as well as his.
Part of the problem is that he has a room-mate and I understand that you can't leave someone in the lurch like that. But he tells me after this was already done that they agreed that it would be best for them to stay there for another year. And he also then tells me that he was thinking we would move together somewhere in 2009. Again...thanks for making decisions about MY life without telling me first.
My situation is that I have to pay bills all alone and I make far less money. But for all intents and purposes 2 people live here every day. He does buy food etc for the house sometimes, which I DO appreciate. But I live day to day with no money to save or buy things I really need (honestly I have $20 in the bank) and he knows this and knows I really feel trapped and unhappy about the fact I feel I have no control over my own life. And I do resent the fact that he feels he has the right to come and go as he pleases, treat this as HIS home and then get annoyed if I complain about my life situation at all. He says he's not the cause of my problems, which is true, but he has no problem paying for his place just to help HIS ROOM-MATE pay for half the bills. I did the math per hour of his share of the rent here, $333 per month.It seems only fair to me if he wishes to live here every day.Barring that, my idea was have someone else move into his apt in his place. They have tons of friends that always need a place to live, so I see this as an ideal solution. Everyone benefits. His reply is that that may take a long time. I say how do you know if you haven't brought up the subject with your room-mate yet?
So his "brilliant" idea is to stay here less now.
So now I am furious and he doesn't see why.
Anyone else see why???
However, how is it fair or acceptable that he lives here every day rent free??
