For the past year and a half DP has been out of work due to his own fault of not renewing his registration (illegal to work without it) he kept telling me it was being sorted and that it was being chased up... I found out a year later that he hadn't even bothered to renew it to start with. I called him out on it and told him to get it sorted and to find another job as we couldn't survive on my wages alone..fast forward another six months and he still hasn't sorted it out and seems to think that working four hours or less a week is acceptable. Because of this it is causing issues not only financially but because I'm working stupid unsociable hours and funding everything as well as never seeing the dc's yet he doesn't seem to see the problem with this. I no longer find him attractive and feel like I'm being used as a meal ticket whilst he sits about the house all day does the odd straighten up of things then has the cheek to complain if I so much as put a dish in the sink because he's done nothing all day but tidy up after me and the dc's even tho there at school and I'm at work or sleeping for work Wibu to tell him that if he doesn't get himself sorted then there will no longer be a relationship I dnt want to throw it away and have the kids hating me for breaking up the family but I don't know how much longer I can carry on like this

I wouldn't give him another chance actually, and I'm normally quite forgiving. He's been happy to arse about for a year and a bloody half while you kill yourself working nights? He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. That's not going to change.

Get rid.

Cocktober?

Unlike a lot of posters you will actually be better off by kicking this cocklodger into touch.

Your kids deserve better than this as an example on how to be a decent human being, let alone how much you deserve better.

Kick him into touch.
Either you will lose the dead weight, or he will sort himself out and life will be much easier for you.

I met my now husband who had a failing business. He didn't contribute to the household, and he never lifted a finger in the house, and would come home to tell me how tired he was, and how he wanted his dinner which I would cook, go to work, to the housework and pay for all the bills, and I constantly lent him money to pay labourers wages, petrol for the van, insurance for said van. Lunch for him and his mates....
One day I woke up and realised that the money I received for myself (due to disability- I got a small amount of DLA and extra on working tax because I was disabled) and realised it was all going on him and I was struggling even more to make ends meet.
That day I kicked him into touch. He went back to live at his parents house as I told him that's what irresponsible children do, if you cannot afford to support yourself then sadly you don't live here anymore.
It took him 3 days to get a job where he was bringing in a decent wage, and supplemented that with weekend work.
