OH MY GOD, I just typed like 3 paragraphs and then pressed back somehow and lost it all... I'll try to remember what I was saying.
You shouldn't jeopardize yourself for someone who so clearly doesn't want to change nor want help. You have been giving him a lot of slack and a lot of chances. He chose to move to AR with you, you didn't force him. If he cannot get home, its really not your fault, you aren't married, you don't have children together, I personally do not think you should hurt yourself like this for someone who is clearly ungrateful and, quite frankly, sexist and degrading. Groping you against your wishes is bad! And the women jokes would nearly make me homicidal, so I truly understand why you are pissed. You are working hard on making your life good, don't let that get side tracked because you are stuck taking care of him.
I know that's all very cold sounding, but considering all that you have been through in the last 6 months with him, I think you've given him plenty of chances. Were he kind to you and caring, I would never suggest leaving him (or kicking him out) but he doesn't seem to appreciate you at all.
I hope I am not being to bossy, that's a terrible trait of mine.
(PS my husband's not talking to me right now. Ah, just love relationships!)
