I don’t necessarily think kicking him out is the right call. But I don’t see any reason why he can’t chip in on the bills.

I agree you need to just have it out and don’t walk on egg shells to prevent argument. Its your house and he should respect any decision you come to x

Start with rent…long over due.

Give him a timeline and goals and if he isn’t meeting those by that time he starts paying rent. Getting serious with him may encourage him to want to leave so asking for rent right away may affect saving in that way, but he needs to show for it in the mean time

Make him pay rent. He will get tired of paying you and maybe go get his own place or move in with a friend. I would charge $500 a month. Something that’s affordable but also enough to make him scratch his head. Plus his car and insurance .

He has responsibility so he won’t be pushed to work if doesn’t have to … once he has bills that need paying he will work or be out on the street

My 20 yr old is a full time university student and works part time . He has contributed financially to the household since he was 18. I did though put all that money away and I used it as part of buying him a good car .

Tell your husband it is time he gets up and helps or he’ll end up stuck with raising that adult by himself. Because honestly I wouldn’t sit and be saddled raising a grown man like a baby. Give him that push of ultimatum since he can’t seem to do it himself.

Pay rent pay some on the house hold bills and buy food or hit the road jack

Oh geez. Kick him out. He’s old enough to be out on his own. Bloody 26 and not paying his way? Just nope. He’s taking advantage of you both. You’re not in the wrong at all. He will never grow up and be responsible unless he’s forced to.

You are wrong to think your husband is agreeing with you. Unfortunately he was his baby boy and they’re the spoilt ones. Suck it up or leave

I don’t agree with alot of the comments here. Yes he should pay rent to cover cost of his share of the bills and food. But the poster is not the mother of for child so doesn’t have the parent bond so unlike to father she is keen for said son to move out. Maybe he just can’t afford to, Sound like he as depressions. My older son are 26 and 25 both work but due to covid have low paid jobs. No way would there wage cover rent let alone anything else. They pay there own phone bills and pay a sent amount based on there wages. No way would I kick them out. It will always be there home :house_with_garden:

Definitely charge him rent and a third of the bills. Lots of families cohabitate for financial reasons or convenience. But it doesn’t serve him justice thinking he can live as an adult without paying his fair share. Otherwise serve him eviction notice.

Plant a tree, bury him under it. Name it after him. Kids can visit anytime. :slight_smile:

Never had children of my own, but this Tough Love approach breaks my heart! I doubt I could do it.

You could’ve spent that money on just you and the children, if you were to bes selfish, which looks like you should have done. Don’t break yourself buy continuing the toxic sicle. You deserve SO SO much better. :heart:

Are you able to get a work from home job so you don’t have to go out? If you are able to work at home and make more than disability and it’s something you think is best, then run the numbers… your job is not to take care of him. If he doesn’t like that, they he can go get his own place.

Don’t let him bully you. Fights about money are rough but it’s very unfair for him to claim you are doing nothing. If he was honest he’s probably mad that he has to go to work. I think providing an affordable place to live is very important. If he’s not able to have extra money then he should work with you not against you to find money to pay for his repairs. I am not a mechanic but three times a year for brakes seems insane. I have never heard of that before. Unless you are replacing rotors and calipers and brake pads too depending on car you can find affordable ways to change them or do it yourself. Your kids are doing good. Don’t let his negativity get at you. Place to live, food on the table and a mom that loves them the kids are going to be ok. Talk to hubby and go from there. It’s very hard to be with someone who’s if I do this you have to do the same when you are not able to be the same. Good luck. I would think about what he’s doing for you and if he’s making things easier or not.

I don’t understand why you stay with someone who treats you so badly and has so many unresolved problems. What exactly is he adding to the family? Sounds like only problems. What is preventing you from kicking him out? Also he sounds like a terrible, dangerous driver who shouldn’t be on the road. Do research online and consult with lawyers to see what your options are.

Also hope you’re in therapy for your problems including maybe self esteem as to why you stay with this guy who sounds like a creep. More phone/zoom therapy options now so you wouldn’t have to leave the house.

This relationship screams toxic! I would put his butt on the road!!!

This isn’t healthy. You allowed it to go on so long I’m afraid it’ll be too late to set boundaries, or tell him he has to pay for car expenses and half of the bills. It’s time to let this child go and focus on yourself. By yourself a house. He is using you.

Some people are horrible at advice and will criticize. First of all, after so long of dealing with so much it’s hard to just leave, or make them leave. He sounds maybe controlling and really immature. Men now days need a woman to be more of a mommy to them and take care of them while they bully them. Make a plan. You can’t just kick him out, cause laws. But I would definitely look into seeking help. You need to leave. If you have a family or friends place you can go and stay temp, and then you get yourself and your kids another place. Idk if you own or rent. If you own I guess that’s not an option. I know anxiety is bad, but you have to make yourself push through. Find a good friend who is close that can help. Sometimes when you try to leave, they can get mean and violent. If you have to, you can get the police to escort you so nothing bad happens.

You have to understand you have allowed this behavior for such a long period of time that probably to him it’s a neutral issue… you can work and get disability up to 25 hours a week… you don’t need so much toxic energy around you or it will just drain your soul everyday, communicate the issue everyday until it’s resolved or if nothing changes leave and let him know your serious

I am asking this for clarification and nothing else: as someone who was married to an agoraphobic (late husband, he died of a pulmonary emolism a little over five years ago) AND someone who struggles with anxiety and other mental illnesses myself, I mean no disrespect nor judgement, and truly do seek clarification. Is it just being in public in crowds that is triggering or does any form of communication with others outside of your inner circle including phones, texts, emails, etc also trigger them? If other forms of communication does not, then honestly, I would recommend gaining permanent remote work (a lot of them actually pays better than disability and offer really good benefits packages that can include mental health supports and even telehealth options so you can do most doctor appointments virtually instead of having to go to the offices as frequently) and once you are established in that job, start the process of leaving his ass. He is mentally and emotionally and even verbally abusing you, which is NOT good for your mental health, which is already struggling as it it and YOU deserve WAY better as do your kids. He cheats, he mooches off of you and does not pay you back, he belittles you, he undermines you, he berates you, he treats you as his inferior instead of as his equal in this relationship and IF you can, you need to leave it. If however any form of communication with the outside world is a struggle, then we need to explore alternatives ranging from seeking out any sort of state assistance (some states have state run disability support programs, so I would start there and apply for them, even if they take time to be approved or if you are put on a waitlist: at least being put on one means you are there) to seeing if you and the kids can stay with any family members or friends and you start there to figure things out for a bit. You DO deserve WAY better and your KIDS deserve better than to see their mother treated worse than a dog chained up in a Texas summer.

If someone else put this post up and you read it, what would you think? Go with that…

Well I don’t think he should have given you $ for the car since yall are together but the insurance, gas, maintenance is ALL on him since he’s the ONLY one driving.

No get rid of him, basically sounds like you do it on your own as it is so go with that.

Oh honey you need a new husband

Maybe sit down with a budget showing all the costs and make sure you are both aware of bills and income. Sounds like he is trying to change some things like now he is working it can be frustrating knowing you are working and the other isn’t that resentment needs to be talked about. You take care of the kids which is so important. Who is in charge of cooking dinner shopping and chores? If he’s working just make sure you’re doing all the other stuff but make sure you’re setting boundaries for how you’re treated. Your kids will learn how to let a spouse treat them by watching you just sit down and have a heart to heart about feeling respected cuz you deserve respect whether you’re working or not. If your income together is enough to pay all your bills and have spending money than that is great but if you need more income maybe you can look into doing a work from home job a couple days a week or babysitting or pet sitting and you should look into counseling for your agoraphobia that can be terrible I can’t even imagine but I know with God anything is possible we should always be trying to improve ourselves and heal those traumas I bet it’s completely possible that one day you can be off of social security and be healed even if you don’t get off social security I know that you can improve your life for you and your kids

Sounds like my ex his reason for leaving me was cuz I didn’t work full time so according to him I didn’t work cuz he had to work full time and if I got sick or hurt and had to miss work he would get mad he didn’t work til he had to he was on disability until they decided he was able to work and cut him off before that he was on cash aid and food stamps it’s all about money if they don’t have it your supposed to give it to them simply because your with them I’m glad that ended your doing it on your own pretty much he needs to man up and take care of his family or get rid of him Sounds more stressful than anything

does he have anger issues toward you or the kids? Does he drink? You could try marriage counseling. Are you seeking counseling for your disability?

He’s in the wrong. Your disabled. You take care of the house. Being a stay at home mom is a job that’s from when you eyes are open til they are closed. I’m a stay at home mom and my hubby works. He’s in-between jobs right now, but our rent is paid and we got things we need. I keep track of the money that he makes. We both make sure that our needs as a family are met first. And we have 3 kids.

If he can’t be grateful that you making sure rent is paid and foods in the fridge, he can go. Have him pay you back for the car. And leave.

Sit him down where you both can tell each other how y’all feel. Listen to understand not to respond.
