Default Re: Losing patience

This is a completely one sided relationship. Sorry but from what you have described he is a louse plan and simple. A parasite living off of you and your efforts. I suspect he has never grown up and was catered to as an adolescent. If you love him and want to save the marriage you will need to discuss what you expect of him. Make it clear to him that he needs to change and start pulling his weight or he is out of there. Take time to list your needs/wants on paper but don’t read them to him like a laundry list. Memorize your points and make sure you make him understand how poorly he is treating you. From the list of complaints that you have, prioritize them because he will not be unable to change all of them at once. As always, I recommend you seek counsel to help both of you with this. If he is to change you need to be firm but patient. There is a lot of baggage there, it won’t change over night. Hopefully he is man enough to see his shortcomings and honor his duties as a husband and father. And good for you for stepping up to the plate to earn a living for your kids along with all the other things you provide to them as a mother. Good luck & bless.
