And the worst part is that he says he still wants to be with me and when I ask why he says "cause I love you" which, I'm sorry, but that's just not good enough. I cannot stand that every time I ask why he is still in this or why he still likes me when we are at each other's throats I get "cause I still love you". I'm so fed up right now that I just don't even care anymore. This relationship is done. I can't deal with this stuff anymore.

I come home and cook dinner, then bring it out and clean it up while he sits on his *** watching sportscenter. Sorry I'm probably not even making sense right now I'm just rambling. I can't even put my thoughts into words right now because I'm so fed up with this thing that passes for a relationship.

I can hear the frustration, anger and bitterness in your post, sweetheart. I suppose it would be silly to ask if you've told him exactly what it is that you want him to contribute to your life together on a day to day basis. Sometimes men (sorry guys, but this is my opinion) don't see what's in front of them. You think they would see that it is important that they contribute to the household but they don't. A lot of it has to do with conditioning. If he comes from a home where his mother didn't require that he do these things or require his father to do these things then he isn't going to think that he needs to. It's also immaturity. He's still a kid inside. Yeh, I know, all men are. But kids can help out around the house. I think your issues are more than that.

Depending on what you have invested in the relationship, you might try counseling. Otherwise, it's going to make it awkward for the remainder of your time together. What you could do is begin talking realisticly about plans to find housing apart. Simply, begin talking about it and ask him what his plans are? It may make things real for him.

Here are some hugs for you and I hope you feel better soon.
