YANBU

MiddleClassProblem · 25/09/2017 22:41

But was he sick or not?

timeisnotaline · 25/09/2017 22:44

Op has said he wasn't sick. I couldn't live with that myself.

MiddleClassProblem · 25/09/2017 22:46

Sorry didn't get the cba meaning but got it now

MargaretTwatyer · 25/09/2017 22:52

Is this under the Bradford system?

MumsOnCrack · 25/09/2017 22:53

Flowers I'm so sorry this has happened

coddiwomple · 25/09/2017 22:56

You are now the only one working, supporting yourself, your 2 children and him? YANBU to be very annoyed. It should at the very minimum be 50/50. You shouldn't have to support him because he's lazy.

I am not sure what to advise, he's a grown up, he should realise how much your family needs to survive, and that you won't support him!

timeisnotaline · 26/09/2017 12:40

I don't know if there's anything to advise. If he's not mentally ill, then you can't fix can't be arsed-itis. It's terminal, all you can do is get as far away as you can.
