My boyfriend who I live with quit his job over a month ago,he was having issues with higher management.
Over a month later and no sniff of a job.
He has zero money and I mean not even 50p
I pay the rent -the bills -food etc
His dad lives 5 hours away and is going home for two nights for a funeral.
He refuses to ask his dad for money (his dad has a lot of money ).
He is going home for his aunts funeral and said it's inappropriate.
I have told him I'm struggling with all the rent /bills etc
He has no car now as he can't afford to get it fixed.
It's my birthday Christmas Eve and he's already told me he doesn't have a car.
I have him the money to buy my Christmas present and he has said he will give me it back when he gets a job.
Surely he should ask his dad for some money?
I bought his coach tickets home too

I will get nothing for my birthday /no meal out or even a Christmas drink

Aibu ?

Don't let him back. And don't ask for advice on MN when you've already been told to get rid of this loser!

If the roles were reversed, would all the posters here encourage the man to leave the woman because “sponging is deeply unattractive?”

Sponging is deeply unattractive, yet men are expected to work full time and still “help” their housewife wife at home.

Yes. Jettisoning hobosexuals is solid life advice for everyone.

@Jazz12 the bf purposely got evicted so he could move in with op then quit his job are you serious!

YANBU but you know that.

You also know that you shouldn't have let this sponger move in with you, when you asked us the last time.

YANBU but what are you going to do about it now?

I hope you are using every possible birth control method because you do not want to end up having a child with this person. Though I'm guessing that might be the next installment in this tale.

Good luck OP

Get the locks changed whilst he's away at the funeral.

He saw you coming

What are you going to do about it?

She’s going to continue to be a mug of course. Probably TTC also. No matter how pathetic a man is, there will always be a woman desperate enough to get into a relationship with him.

Soothsayer1 · 18/12/2022 17:28

why are you passively letting this leech destroy your life?
this is on you now OP, you're letting him do this

I think I remember the other post about this loser.

Seriously, take control and bin off this dead weight.

Change the locks, keep the cats.
