AIBU?

To think my long distance relationship is a joke?

Boyfriend (for want of a better word) lives 140 miles away. When we first got together we agreed we would see each other every weekend (with him coming here mostly as he has no commitments) and me going there now and again. This was his idea as he knew I didn't really want a long distance relationship because of the lack of time we'd spend together.

Anyway we agreed to give it a go.

The "every weekend" thing soon dropped down to "every other weekend" with him saying he needed every other weekend to see friends etc plus he said it was expensive. Everytime I suggested visiting HIM he put me off.

So you'd think he'd make the effort to get here early saturday right? well no - he needs to "relax" saturday morning - then he needs to get his hair cut (every two weeks??!!) and then he has "errands" to do - so basically he gets to my house for around 5pm every other saturday night. He then makes an excuse to go on my computer EVERYTIME as soon as he gets here and spends an hour on car forums and then, around 6pm I get his attention Hmm. Sunday is a washout as he insists on sleeping in until 11am at the earliest (much later if I let him, has been known to sleep in until 2pm) and then leaves again around 4pm sunday.

What IS the point?! sick of it now.

Plus he never has any money so we can never really do anything when he's here anyway. Funnily enough, he always has enough money for the latest xbox game though Hmm he thinks I'M being unreasonable and "high maintenance"

I don't actually see any evidence of a relationship here. Instead, I see a lazy bastard who lives with his Mummy and who, for the sake of a shag, just about manages to travel 140 miles once a fortnight.

Dump him. I can't see what benefits he brings to your life.

The OP hasn't even mentioned that he (or she) gets a shag.

I reckon his parents want him out of their house on Saturday night so they can have a shag.

He just needs a bed for the night.

Yes, what on earth is the point of this 'relationship'?

Say goodbye. Now.

I think some of these replies are a bit harsh. There's nothing wrong with having a relationship like this if both partners are happy with it, the only problem here is that one of them isn't.

I think it's more telling that OP says they can never do anything because he never has any money, despite the fact that he's the one paying to do all the traveling. I wonder if she offers to pay for things to even it up a bit.
