To just leave my relationship?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 8 months, and I'm way down the list of his priorities. He does nothing for me except clean the house, he's financially dependant on me and his friends come first, we do absolutely nothing together and when he does go out its all night with no contact to me whatsoever.

I asked if he wanted to get some tea today, because its bank holiday and he said no, I asked if he wanted to go out and he said there's nowhere that me and him can go, yet he goes everywhere with his friends. He took my bank card with him unknowingly and I've no money on me to get food or anything, he said he will be home "Inna few hours" I am so fed up and part of me thinks I should just leave, but the other half is thinking I expect too much and should just appreciate the time we spend together, but during that time we do nothing but sit watching films or food/clothes shopping.

Any advice

Apart from anything else, he sounds so painfully dull.

Oh you poor thing. You don't love him, you love the fantasy version of him that exists only in your head. Look at how he behaves towards you - he can hardly bear to be in the same room and prefers his mates every time. It looks like you are his cash cow. Please recognise that you are worth so much more than this.

You're not expecting too much. He is taking the absolute piss. What are you actually getting from this relationship?

I know it's hard when you're caught up in the midst of it but sometimes you just need to give yourself a good talking to and do the one thing that makes sense...leave him!!! Trust me in a few months you will look back and thank yourself.

He is a sponging idiot. You deserve better

Of course you should leave him. He’s treating you like absolute shit, you’re supporting him financially, he doesn’t think there is anything you can do together except shop, he goes out with your bank card and you’ve only been together EIGHT MONTHS? What you’re describing isn’t even a relationship. It just isn’t. Leave him now. No ultimatums or discussion. Leave him. He’s an appalling human being.

8 months? This is your honeymoon period. This hasn’t got great prospects has it?

Witchinaditch · 25/08/2019 11:45

If you are unhappy leave. Don’t stay in an unhappy relationship because of fear of the unknown

VikVal · 25/08/2019 11:46

Good grief, he sounds like a right catch! Run and don't look back...get your card back first though.

Whosorrynow · 25/08/2019 21:56

You are lying on the floor and letting him walk all over you
we command you to get up now and walk away from this arsehole, you are worth so much more😊

Yet another ‘but I love him’

WHY? In what fucking way is he even vaguely loveable?

You need to give yourself a talking to and move on quick fucking smart.

Heartburn888 · 25/08/2019 22:03

Why would You appreciate being with someone like that?

He is using you. Sorry to be so blunt but you provide for him and he’s using your house as a doss house. There’s no partnership here he’s doing what he wants with no regard for you.

I’d seriously ask him to leave. Can you afford the house by yourself?

You deserve much better! If someone can’t even go for bloody tea with you which you would be paying for anyway it’s a sad state of affairs.

This ^^

Mind-boggling.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 26/08/2019 00:13

Just get rid of him ASAP. He will not get better, only worse. He is treating you how he wants to treat you. Why be with someone who doesnt want to treat you right? Ive been there before, wasted so much time on various losers over the years. Ive learnt to cut my losses and move on alot faster now. Please do the same.
I was living with people at only a few months in too. Ended up just put all my stuff in bin bags and got a taxi to my Mums.

GloriaMaximus · 26/08/2019 00:16

Le me guess..he smokes weed too.

He doesn't need an ultimatum, what is that going to achieve. Have some dignity and move on.
