Hello to everyone. I am living in PAIN! And I need as much advice as I can get. Point in Case: I am living with my boyfriend 45 yrs. and his 2 boys 21 and 23. His boys come home and if they say "hi" to me, I'm lucky. There is no way I can start a conversation with them. They aren't interested. (I was dating their dad 9 mos. prior to him buying a house and myself moving in with them.) He has been divorced for approx. 15 yrs. The BIGGEST problem is his kids and himself are slobs. And my boyfriend can't stand me complaining about it! So he yells at me for complainingI and tells me "take the problem up with them." First of all the boys make me feel terribly uncomfortable around them since they accept me living there but they always in seclusion within their own minds. They will not/don't want to open up to me about ANYTHING. Usually they are not home so when I come home from work or somewhere, I never can tell which one of them left garbage laying around. I've approached my boyfried with ideas to get them to pick up after themselves, but he doesn't want to hear it. There are other problems too besides this one, but I just get no respect and nothing ever gets discussed about any problems around here. I am totally fed up and am wondering if I belong in this house hold.

Sorry this Post has been so long, but hopefully someone will have some solution to this problem. Because I am fed up and cannot deal with slobs anymore and I get No support from my boyfriend. Thank you.
