In the verge of breaking up with him

Today we had fight that made me cry so hard. He's become inconsiderate and insensitive unlike when the relationship is young, he was so careful not to make me upset. He'd left without telling me and come back without anything to say. It's like I am not involved with what he's doing with his life.
I am living with him and working online. He's got no job but he is financially supported by his parents. I understand that he's still young (23 yrs old) and would tend to be immature, but I think he's gone too far. He's being careless, irresponsible and happy go lucky is irritating me. He's turned into someone who's opposite of what he used to be. I know people change, but this is just ridiculous! SHOULD I END THE RELATIONSHIP NOW?!
Last thing, I hate the fact that I fell in love with a stupid guy. As in descriptively stupid. :(

Hi mary,
If you'll try to view it in a positive way. Good thing you already knew earlier what kind of person he really is. Can you spend all of your life being with that kind person? The decision is still yours but you have to weigh first before you decide. How long have you been together?

With that length of time he already showed such manner? They say you will never knew the true character of your partner unless you live with him in 1 roof and the longer you've been together the more you discover things which you never knew before about him. In just a matter of 1 year he already treat you the way he is doing now? Can you bear the same thing to happen again and again? or expect the worst in 5 to 10 years can you handle such situation every now and then to happen?

We've been together for more than a year. Maybe he's just being too comfortable of having me here.

If you are not happy with this guy then either something has to change with one of you, or the relationship has to end. Either way, you just can't carry on with him if you're not having a good time. You should think about what you like about him, and the reasons that you might want to stay with him, and then think about the reasons you don't want to stay with him. You should then be able to see which list has the most reasons, and that should help you to make your decision to some extent. I know it's never easy to decide to break up with somebody, but you can't go on being unhappy forever.

I think he's making me happy more than sad, but what if he gets worse? I know I'm being paranoid, but I don't want to waste my time if this would go to nothing anyway. Or maybe this is just one of those days.. Hopefully.

Yes I would end the relationship now. It's better to end the relationship when you still care about him, but realize he's not a good husband, than to stick with it until you absolutely hate him, and have a bitter and hateful heart.
You made a horrible choice. Go and live wisely. Next time, do not move in with someone until you are married to them, and do not marry someone until you know enough about them to make an intelligent choice.
Living with someone before you are married, is a great way to find bad awful guys. Stop that. Be wise. Move on with your life.

Remember that "words" and "actions" are to very different things. A guy will say all kinds of things to make the drama end, but that may not mean he will change.
If he does not change, do not keep going on this cycle of broken heart, say a bunch of stuff, broken heart again, and say more things.
Do not go there. You will just end up bitter, and he will end up frustrated.
If things really do get better, then good luck to you, I hope it works out :)

I was furious when I posted this discussion because I didn't know that I have been too wicked at him too. This guy took time to win my heart. It wasn't easy for him and it was a decision I have thought of for a long time.
I realized that this guy may be irresponsible as of the moment because of not having a job, but I was too angry to appreciate him doing some household chores even if he grew up like a prince. He is trying to do things for me and I should just be thankful for that.
There's no way to find a perfect man anyways. I should just take care of what I have. :)

I appreciate your opinion, but we're okay now. We've talked and have decided to make things better. :)

Yes, we're okay now as we've talked days ago to keep the relationship. I told him that I want to leave, he said he'd respect my decision but would hope that I'd stay. He asked for another chance to get back to what he used to be. I also have faults that made him heavy-hearted but he kept it to himself as he don't want to upset me. He doesn't need to send me a message because we're living in the same roof. :)

you should talk to him and tell him that his attitude is irritating you. i mean you even live with him so it means you like him right? ^^ so dont give up without talking with him first. tell him that if things continue like this the best is to break up and see his reaction. sometimes when we see we are losing something important to us we change our attitude^^ i wish he can be sweet to you like when you first dated
you said you work online. can you tell me what is your online job? im also looking for one so maybe you can help me^^

I actually as him before that we break up, but he begged me not to leave him. Yet he's still making me sick now. If I ask for a break up again, I don't want it to serve as a warning. but I want it to happen this time, for real.
I am a virtual assistant and an affiliate manager. I am currently looking for someone to create videos for three of our sites. Do you have knowledge about video making?

maybe you should wait a bit more of time^^ maybe he changes his attitude soon and you can be happy. if he begged you not to leave him is bcs he cares for you. but boys sometimes dont show it and sure that makes us upset. talk with him again and say that he needs to change his attitude bcs you cant take it anymore. that you wish he is the guy you fell in love with again. he might understand what he is doing. i wish he be good again
yes i know a bit about video making^^ maybe i can try to help you :)

If you aren't happy anymore with your life with him, then it's time for you to leave him.
He is still young and would really still be adventurous and would always like to have fun. And can you risk being with him without him making an effort to have a job ? His parents can't forever support him.
So, start thinking what is good for you in the long run.

He still makes me happy sometimes though, but lately I am usually heavy-hearted. We've had a great relationship and it's pretty hard to find another man to be comfortable with. I will talk to him later and tell him that I'm thinking about ending the relationship then see how he deals with it.

He just got back from somewhere and now he's ready to sleep. I mean he's lying in bed like nothing happened. How can he go to sleep without saying sorry or something? :(

I wanna be honest in responding here. First let me tell you that the mere fact that you are living in with that man is already wrong. It may be a normal thing these days but in the eyes of God two people who lives together without the blessing of marriage is sinful. You may or you may not like this but I am just speaking from the point of view of a Christian woman.
So just for the simple reason that live-in relationship is not approve to God and to add up the fact that the man you are living in is irresponsible and far from being an ideal husband to be then you need not thing further. Go and set yourself free and next time around don't commit the same kind of mistake.

You were asking me so I would give my honest answer again. Yes it is a wrong decision. Practicality will not justify any decision that contradicts the commandment of God. Look what happen. You wanted to be practical but living with that irresponsible man is not practical either. But don't feel bad. You can always do something to change your life.
@Marygoround (155)

I respect your opinion and perspective about this kind of situation. But to tell you frankly, this setting wasn't a choice made for any reason but practicality. I am on my own for how many years now as both of my parents are living with their own families. I can get my own place but that will cost me much so I accepted his offer to live with him. Did I make a wrong decision? :)

Sorry to hear that you and your man had a fight today. I guess every relationship has a fight. A happy period and an unhappy period which might upset both sides. Do you attempt to talk to him how you feel. Told him that you felt that you were left out, and you were ignored. Did he encounter any problem or stress at elsewhere? His family or what. Talk it out to see if there is still a solution to make this relationship work again. I am no expert, but that is how I feel to do first.
@Marygoround (155)

That's what I've always wanted to do. But he is the type who doesn't talk about things. He simply go to me, hug me and so on and so forth. It feels good but I want to talk about every problem or fight we have. I guess guys are usually like that.

You are so beautiful and I'm glad you can see that in him cause he doesn't deserves you and insensitive people might not be a bad person but it's horrible to live with them and in the end you might be dating to find the right person to who knows, in the future to marry or something so why to stand around someone that there's no future with, at least not a bright one.

I understand what you are trying to tell me, but I am happy right now and that's the most important thing right? Anyways, this is the last chance for him. If he screw up again then I'm gonna end the relationship without any hesitation anymore. :)

Starting a relationship is easy, but lasting the relationship is a very challenging thing indeed. Many couples faced the same problems after being together for some time. One thing that people should really need to understand about love is that, love is not the increasing heart beat that the media had been promoting.
Whether or not the guy is worth more of your time, you are the only person who know the true answer to it. Of course, you should try to talk to him about things nicely first. If things really don't work, then only consider the worst possible scenario. Good luck to your relationship.

We've already talked days ago and decided to patch things up. He asked for another chance and this is gonna be his last. If he fails again, then we need to end this up. Thank you for your response. Happy mylotting :)

You have spent quality time with him and it will be hard for you to get over him though you are saying now you want to end the relationship. You must give some time and take a break from the normal life. let him miss you and see what follows next. Try explaining to him that he needs to do something and it is high time that he needs to do something out of his life. There must be something bothering him also and I think you must talk to him about it and the change in him. You must understand that he has no job and nothing, so maybe that is bothering him. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

hey mary,
Did you try to talk to him, Is he younger than you? Do you guys often fight, if there is answer in yes then try to be straighforward, but don't tunned into irritating or bossy tune. Try to love him takecare of him, eat with him, wait for and if he is not telling where 'd he go etc ask him politely, don't just comeup with breaking things between you two. I hope things workout between you two. Are you sure he loves you too?

Before you decide to break up with the guy, try to weigh things first. List down the pros and cons. Try not to end up making a decision that you will regret later on. Think of yourself and what you really want and what would make you happy. If you're willing to stay in the relationship despite the ups and downs, if you think it's worth the pain and the hurt, if he's still the one who'd be able to put a smile on your face each day and make you happy,then, by all means stay. Staying would not only prove how strong a person you are for keeping up with the hard times on your relationship but it's also a great opportunity for your guy to realize your worth. But if each day with him feels like hell already and all you do is cry and complain, then you know what to do. What's important is that you don't lose yourself for someone who's not worth it. Learn to love yourself as well. You're worth more than you can imagine. :)

Last Friday we we're able to talk about things- heart to heart. I didn't know he's got a heavy towards me as well, but just kept it inside because he doesn't want to fight. He asked for another chance and time to get back to the man he used to be. :)

I still love him but I want him to step up. I am planning to rent a house so he'd know the feeling of not having me in the same roof again. Do you think it's a good decision?

I think giving him enough time to step up is a good idea. If you can patiently hang on in there and wait for him to think things through and change and do something that will make your relationship better and worth fighting for, that's absolutely fine. If it works out well in the end, then all the pain would be worth it. If not, that's fine too. Just charge it to experience and move on. At least you've tried everything to save your relationship and there's no reason for you to regret things later on. Hope that helps. :)

You are still young, you shouldn't stick it with someone who's already like that even before you are married. Someone who's supported by the parents is bound to be a spoiled person forever - don't wait till he replaces you before you wake up!
I say go and leave this guy. Nobody like that is worth the effort.
Have a great mylot experience ahead!

If you no longer feel the love that you used to have between you, then you need to just give up on the relationship before anything could get worst. You mentioned that you are living together, you might want to be careful not to get pregnant if your situation is not good between you and you are neither financially capable of raising a child.
@Marygoround (155)

I still love him so much. If ever I get pregnant he sure can support the child financially, but Im not sure if he can be good role model.

Hi,
By all means, try to listen to your head and not to your heart or you may end up shooting the guy in the head. Just put it this way: that you don't want to aggravate the matter by hanging out with someone that has the tendency to be immature and mother fed. Why, it is not your duty to wean him, his mother should have done that a long time ago.
Now I'm beginning to understand the "charm" most girls associate with older guys (like me).
@Marygoround (155)

Maybe you we're raised differently by your good mother. I know that he might or we might just getting through "a tough stage", but I also know that once a person changed, he can't go back to what he used to be. He might pretend for a few days, but he'll go back to being a jerk. Why do you guys don't continue doing the things you did to win our hearts? No offense meant. :)

If you can't live with a spoiled kid end the relationship. You don't need him.
23 Years is not young. I wonder why people always say it's young if it comes to a man. At that age I had already 3 children and nobody was sponsering me! Women are not different from men, he is just a spoiled, lazy guy, with high needs and a big mouth. You are indeed the fool who jumps if he tells you to jump so he can have his great comfortable life.

You guys are still young, and you can do so much better than him. A relationship is a two-way affair, it has to be a give and take one otherwise instead of helping me to mature and own up to his mistakes and responsibilities, you will end up spoiling him and letting him be worse; that is if you will always excuse and forgive his mistakes which are avoidable in the first place.
The mere fact that you are already contemplating on breaking up with him means it's been really bad. Take a breather or a break, see if you still want to live that kind of life with him. Life still have so much to offer for you.

I was thinking hours ago to go to a friend's house tomorrow and stay there for a week. I truly need a break. I need him to experience life without me for a week and see if he's okay with it, then I'll leave him alone.
