Eskielover, Pat and Seeker,

Thank you for your feedback.

I appreciate your honesty regarding enabling.

I have been using the internet to identify jobs that he can do. Then I let him review them, and pick the ones that sound like the best fit.

I've been getting involved, and it probably is enabling, to try to keep our heads afloat financially.

He's a great playmate, and we come from a similar socio-economic background and era.

As he is getting older though his charm is wearing thinner, and his bad points are becoming more pronounced.

I'm not exactly sure how to get out of the relationship, and there never seems to be a convenient time to do so.



Does anyone want a St. Bernard? I have six dogs, eight cats, and two horses. I think part of husband's strategy in keeping our marriage together has been to have pets I couldn't leave.
