Well you obviously both have some shared problems: alcohol is one of them, that is obviously causing trouble.

Also cigarettes are an awful habit and suck away your limited money, as I am sure you know.

You sound more capable than the guy, and it would seem he is the one dragging you down.

He is obviously- to be frank- an irresponsible, immature and blatantly incompetent emotional cripple. As you have clearly pointed out he can't look after himself at all, and forget him being supportive to you, or even taking care of the dog.

Why on earth are you with him? You say you don't want to be alone and that is holding you in this nightmare? I mean surely you can find someone better.

Imagine what it would be like to have a partner that was actually competent and responsible and could actually be supportive to you. Is your self esteem to low that you don't feel you can get or deserve such a person?

It would suck for a while if you have to leave him, be alone and get your own place. But then you can go back to the dating scene and try not to get involved with such an :"idiot" (to be frank) next time.

I strongly recommend you move on, and get out. You may have problems too, but you are certainly not getting any support from your partner.

If you stay with him, things are not going to get better, he is not going to change or improve. He may have charmed you in the beginning, giving you a good impression, but it was obviously a lie, he can't take basic care or responsibility for anything!

Whatever you decide. Best wishes.
