I moved in with her 10 years ago because I loved her and she needed help financially. She had only food stamps at that time and she stopped her house payments through a mortgage program so she didn’t have to pay it until she got on here feet. I paid the electricity and other utilities for about 6 months and cut the grass and fixed thing around the house.She used her food stamps to feed us.She cooked , cleaned, packed my lunch and liked having sex a whole lot and she still does all these things but sometime she goes on drinking binges and starts nagging me to start paying her something to help out with the bills, I have a full time job and make okay money,not lots,but she is now paying all the bills, unless there is a shortage of hers because she bounces a check every once in a while so I give her whatever bill she needed help on. Now she says she is tired of being broke all the time and wants me to pitch in once in awhile. This makes me mad she wants money from me because I cut the grass, fix guy stuff around the house and take her to dinner once in awhile. She is on disability because she has a bad back and has gone through 3 surgeries in the last 2 years yet she can still do everything for me and pay all the house bills(The house is in her name so she should) Why does she say it makes her feel used by me. I don’t think I am using her. Do you and do you think she has the right to be angry when I don’t help out to live with her? I would love some answers tonight because she wants me to move out if I do not help her out. She wants $300 a month and it cost her $1,000 to run the place. She can do it so why is she wanting to kick me out?
In her defence Banana she worked all her life then had a horrible car accident and almost died. They put her spine back together with rods and bolts. It took her 2 years to be able to walk again. Now she is having trouble with the hardware in her back detereating. Don’t speak of her like she’s nothing as a matter of the fact do not speak about anything unless you ask about how she ended up that way
Snoot, good name. Your man seems to be used by you. You’re the kind of women that make other women look bad. So I guess you got a sucker to take care of you. I’m so happy for you. He should run from you!
You’ve been living with her for 10 years and you’ve NEVER helped with the rent??? You should be doing half of the chores and pay half of ALL the bills-including the mortgage.
yes you need to pay
if you dont you will have to pay anyway to get your own place
if it was me i would just pay the 300 and keep a relationship than pay a lot more somewhere else and lose a friend
Okay seriously… where can you live with just doing that stuff (which you should do anyways since you live there) and not have to pay any bills? You live there too.. therefore you should be equally responsible for the bills. She does “women” stuff, so the “man” stuff is your responsibility. The point is that you’re not her child.. she has no responsibilities to you. My suggestion would be to pay her the three hundred a month and continue doing the things you need to do… or move out and get your own place. Man up or move out.. nobody wants somebody that uses them. Good luck
You’re both losers. Paying for electricity for 6 months & cutting grass where you actually live is not exactly exemplary on your part. She was on food stamps & now she’s on disability? What BS. Do either of you actually ever support yourselves completely? And you are just about as lazy as it gets. She pays the bills now (off the tax payers dime BTW) so you feel like it’s all covered & why bother? Ugh. Way to aspire to something greater!!!! Gross, just absolutely gross.
You have a full-time job, cut the grass, fix things around the house and bang your wife. Newsflash, sweetie: A good majority of married men do this and have no trouble with it. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to help out your wife financially if she’s having trouble with the bills. If she’s not taking advantage of you, and it doesn’t sound like she is, then why are you complaining? If her actions and drinking bother you, TALK to her. Be proactive about your relationship and be grateful that she a stable financial support.
