It's not that easy just to throw him out. We've lived together for 10 years, I'm more willing than that to work on it. I just need to know how. I wish he could step up to the man plate. We don't yell at each other. I was physically, verbally and emotionally abused as a child by my mother, and don't like to revisit that - ever.

It feels like I'm pulling a sack of potatoes behind me all the time. It's tiring. Why can't he pull me sometimes?

I think I'm just going to stop doing everything. If the house is messy and his ***** is all over the place, that's fine. I'll learn to live with it. If it gets too dirty, maybe I'll move out. At least I have friends that'll help me out. He only has his mom, no friends.
