We used to get to spend a lot of time together, everyday, every night etc.. He doesn't work (doesn't bother IMO) he gets disability , I work 2 jobs. We have no kids. I've always been keen for work.
were going on holiday so I wanted extra spending money, so iv been working everyday lately, long shifts like 12-11 pm. Wrecked when I get home, etc...we've started growing apart and bickering the whole time obviously pushing us apart.

I'm leaving the 2nd job..
Is he being unreasonably to get down my throat? He's only hating me going to work constantly cause IMO he's bored cause he doesn't have work of his own. I'm happy having 2 jobs but don't want us to grow apart, want to spend more time with him so leaving..I love him so much but hope I don't start resenting him for not having his own life , waiting for me at home constantly..

He has no physical disability. Had a mental one years ago...

•he's had jobs a few months ago but left as boss was really not nice

As far as I know you can't walk out of a job because you don't like the boss and then sign on.

How can you be claiming benefits and working 7 x 12 hrs per week. 84 hours paw week Legitimately ?

indigox · 14/05/2017 16:46

Sure, working people can claim benefits but if you're working 80+ hours on minimum wage you're earning over £30k, which is over any benefit thresholds if you have no kids.

umberellaonesie · 14/05/2017 17:00

You could still claim disability benefits if working those hours.

Why do you have a lazy benefit cheat for a partner?

One who tell you not to work too?

Who has no life of his own because he's, well... a fucking loser, by the sounds of it?

FFS I wouldn't give such a man the time of day, let alone let itlive in my house and maybe even touch it once in a while.

Have some standards! People say Disney movies are terrible influences, but you know, they weren't far off when they said look for a prince, or at least someone who can dress themselves and act vaguely human, rather than this sort of glorified pet you've ended up with.

I think he's being silly asking you to stop one of your jobs. You have plenty time alone together - 8am till 12 noon is 4 hours alone together and much more then most couples I know.

I would bet he's in bed then, Squished.
