Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML

Kick the bum out

Today, after spending money on all the furniture and decor in our apartment, paying rent every month from my bank account, paying for all the groceries, and paying for all the dog supplies, my fiance asked why I don't keep saving thousands of dollars every month, while he pays for none of it. FML

Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I wouldn't use $5,000 to build him a new gaming computer with my surrogate compensation, even though he basically refuses to get a job. FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML

Food fight

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML

Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML

Today, my boyfriend keeps mentioning how well his new job pays, while I don’t have any income. He then got upset when I expected him to pay for the groceries I got on my way to his new place. What I bought was stuff I needed so I could cook for him, and for me to eat while I’m there, cleaning and fixing stuff for him. FML

Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML

Today, my husband finally admitted that he squandered the last three months of my share of the rent on booze. He then blamed me, demanded more money, asked for a divorce, and stormed out. When he returned he asked, "How am I the bad guy?" FML

Why are you going to marry this lazy bum?? Did you have to buy your own engagement ring, too? Dump him. Find someone who's willing to at least hold a job... jeez.

does he at least do shit around the house? does he wash the dishes, vacuum, dust, clean the bathroom, etc. If so then I'm sorry OP but you are now in the position men have been in for years

Why are you engaged to and living with a man that's "never had a job in his life"? How did you plan to support his habits when you accepted the proposal? Money doesn't just start falling out of your ass because you're "in love". He's not your child, and it is therefore not your responsibility to take care of him and provide his every desire. Stop complaining about things you should have thought about before hand, and dump the loser.

OP already has a full-time job. Maybe the lifestyle that they were living was fine on one income and they, for whatever reasons, decided that it wasn't important for him to have a job. Nothing wrong with that in itself. (also, we have to keep in mind that "never had a job in his life" has a much nicer ring to it than "hasn't had a job in years") He's being a greedy asshat now, but I have to hope that things weren't always like this.

This is very true, but obviously the circumstances have changed. Just because you were comfortable at one point does not mean you can live beyond your means for an extended period of time without something having to change. They should have discussed and altered their lifestyle long before he got the chance to start making such ridiculous demands.

listen to me please ! there's no women on this earth that would stay with a lazy bum if there wasn't children involved! unless theres something serious wrong with her! most likely there are children or child and she don't want to break up her child or children home !
