I am surprised that no one has really addressed this paragraph. Is he aware that you feel this way about him? I mean, essentially he is a meal ticket and taxi service. What does he get out of the relationship? I guess it sort of stuck a nerve with me, because I had an ex like that. It is one of the main reasons why he is an ex. I got sick of feeling like I was being used.


It sounds like your only option is to stick it out until you can find a way to support yourself. What would you do if he left you? You would have to find some way to survive.

I agree with the previous comment that you should try to bring it up at a moment when you are calm to keep things from getting too confrontational.



I have been married 12 years and I'd have to disagree with your statement that, "marriage is more about what you can tolerate than anything else." I certainly don't feel that way about my husband. We actually enjoy being married to each other.
