Baby I mean this in the nicest way possible but I promise there are way better fish in the sea than him. Throw him back and move on. I spent YEARS wasted living with a man who was literally everything you just described. Left and shortly after married someone else. Life is better. You do NOT deserve the carry the load alone. It sounds like he’s being selfish and manipulative.

Personally id not be taking on a new lease with him id be doing it alone. If hes not paying his share and helping out whats the point of him being there at all.
He is not going to change…either you accept his behaviour or you move on alone. If you choose to keep trying then make sure any new lease is in your name only and charge him rent …he doesn’t pay then he gets no services…laundry, cooking, sex all get stopped

Honestly my opinion
But I don’t think you should move into the new townhouse with him. Make him stay where he’s at now, in a relationship it’s 50/50 or on the hard days one puts in a little more, you shouldn’t have to tell him to be a father or to put time into your relationship.

If you can afford to stay at the new place alone ask that he be removed from the lease and just move yourself and baby there. If not, see if you can get out of that lease and cut your losses and get a smaller spot for you and kid.

He won’t change unless he is willing too … My “bf” and I have been together for 6 and half years now … we have 2 kids together 4 years of dating before I got pregnant he was only doing what he wanted and when he wanted … No date nights, not helping around the house until he’s asked too, He never cooked for me, he would never drive me anywhere… still when I got pregnant on our 5th year my daughter ALL HE DID was play games and stay up all night till 7 in the morning … Sleep allllll day and then go to work in a rush … I ask him to make bottles he rarely helped He never changed her never gave her a bath and never fed her A PROPER meal we fought on and off throughout we broke up technically in the middle of our 5th year… I found out that I got pregnant with our second child … I stayed a single mom for 5 and half months until he convinced me that he was gonna help me out with both kids otherwise I won’t have him in my life besides him seeing the kids. I moved back in with him and well he did start helping more in the house he changed our daughter he feeds her… but he won’t change feed our son … If I ask him to hold him it would only last maybe 5 min or the most 10 … HE still sleeps all day and works he sometimes plays games not all the time do that’s ok … we live pay cheque to pay cheque aswell only because our damn rent is 2600 and food is fricken crazy high right now … now including gas … But overall He’s grown and changed I just wish he would be more helpful with our son and let me take a meaningful bath or shower without me thinking he’s crying , or let me take a nap or let me have some “me” time … … I do wish you the best of luck … But from what it sounds like YOU DESERVE BETTER I wish I took better care of my feelings back then but it turned out okay and I’m not that disappointed

You seem to gor This completely under control on your own you don’t need a man. Us women are just a strong and capable of doing what a man does.

I feel you on this. Our situation is almost a 10 outa 10 equal. I told mine time and time again. Well as of last month i told him if i wanted to be a single parent i would of left. But I’m here so inwant an hs. But it’s not as clear on your end, so heres the deal. I feel alone anyway, and doing like 95% of EVERYTHING on MY OWN. So tou have a month to prove you want US here. NOT JUST ME. Well his month has come and gone, he has stepped up more then what he was before, but i find i still need to have little pep talks. I again shouldn’t have too. So as a compromise on MY End only, to be with him but not live with him. If still no changebas of when he has his children then, WE WILL be separated. He will have his kids when he wants, but i will NOT force it. He’s by no means a bad father, just has no discipline. So. I guess best of luck and good outcomes on no matter what you decide. And mine is after 11yrs.

Honey, first of all these are not solely your jobs to do and you shouldn’t ask for help to do them. Asking for him to help you just insinuates that these are your responsibilities and he is merely a helper. No no no. You work and he works so everything else needs to be split 50/50. Sit down and talk to him and tell him that things are changing and if he isn’t on board then it’s time to go separate ways. Make a list of absolutely everything that needs to get done daily, weekly and monthly. Sit down with him and split them up and have them specifically assigned to one of you.
This will be the test to see if he can or is willing to pull his weight. Right now, you are acting like his mom. You don’t need another child, you need a partner.

Omg IM GOING THRU THE SAME THING BUT WITH TWO BABIES!!!

Hun your a mother of two . Tell him to go live with his parents for a couple of days since he wants to act like a child. I don’t know what’s up with men lately but it seems like they were raised to be coddled and useless. Don’t attack me I’ve seen this shit a thousand time even my own fucking husband is like this . Locked the door in my room and told him to sleep on the couch

Move with your daughter, and not him. He obviously is not mature enough to do things at home-laundry, cook a meal, even pick up takeout dinner for everyone. Jobs at home have to be done together, not you 99% and him 1% with an attitude. Split it 50-50%. You are working too hard at a job and at home while he sits and plays games.if he does not want to take off work to move keep his things where you are and go without him. He needs to grow up

Sometimes you need to really be on your own to help you see that you’ve already been doing it on your own and you’ll be fine. :woman_shrugging:
I think he definitely needs this wake up call that you have more needs as a partner or you’d rather just be single. Some guys think that’s all women prioritize.
If it were me I’d start with saying I feel like I’m single and if I’m single I’ve mapped out what your responsibility to your child would be if we shared joint custody and providing 50/50.
Start asking/requiring whatever that break down is. Since what’s yours is yours and what’s his is his right?
If he can start making changes and understanding how he’s been riding on putting most of the burden on you as far as the baby, then you have hope that he will make changes for you as a partner who wants to be a family and do things jointly. If he acts worse then hopefully you’ll see it’s time to go.

You need to sit him down and tell him your not a single mom if your gonna have to do everything and pay for everything then he can just leave bc your doing it all anyways. Tell him everything you told us on this post and tell him your serious and if things don’t change you can just do it all yourself for real. Quit letting him get away with all that shit and even if you have to keep telling him until he gets the point then do it. But be prepared that he might say he don’t care he is doing shit. You might have to tell him your leaving to get him to understand how serious you are. Goodluck

I understand the frustration. It depends on how old you are, but I will say that guys take longer to mature, & most of the time we’re the ones that are worried about the fine details. Most guys would be content as long as they had a roof over their head, one chair, & a TV. Living with anyone is never easy, but if you want things done a certain way, you need to communicate with him. Should he automatically do things for you & the kid? Absolutely! But some people have to be asked or told that help is needed.
With that being said, is he not paying for things, or do you continue to tell him no when he asks if you want him to pay for something? Because it sounds like you just don’t want to hear him complain, which I understand. But just remind him that the kid you have is together, you didn’t just magically make a baby without him.

I’d honestly sit him down & tell him what you want precisely from him. He can’t change if you don’t tell him what he’s doing wrong, & how to fix it.
Now if he continues to do this to you, I would not blame you at all for calling it quits after your lease is up. Wishing you the best. :black_heart:

If y’all live together why are t your combining your money and paying everything together? Or if you want to keep your money separate everyone should pay half. I wouldn’t want to do it that way but some people do. And he should be helping care for your daughter too. She’s also his kid.

I wonder if he was a lazy bum before you got pregnant. And I say this as someone who was duped. Before kids, he was kind and doting. After kids, he became an a$$, so I took my kids and left. If I’m gonna do it all alone with someone, I may as well not harbor anger and just do it alone. Then I met the guy in the pic…

That’s not a relationship. You’re doing everything on your own you may as well file for child support. It may be because he’s young and wasn’t taught how to take care of a family he made himself. If he’s willing to go to couples therapy that may help be he needs a role model to show him the ropes or he’s going to lose a good woman. But income in a relationship needs to be both of yours not a his her thing. If you stay he needs to have these things, he’s a family man now he needs to act like it.

Your child is crying because they’re tired? Then I guess he better pick them up & rock them to sleep. I’ve found with my own husband that he doesn’t listen to a single thing that I say. Everything that I say goes in one ear & out the other. They don’t think we do shit, we’ll then I guess I’m really gonna start not doing shit. Then they’ll see just how much we really do n how much responsibility that is on us all the time. They are grown ass men, it’s time they start acting like one. We are their wife’s, not their Mothers.

Get out of this relationship. Get child support. A guy this selfish will NEVER put u 1st & u deserve to be!!!

Men aren’t socialized to do anything but bring home a paycheck. You’ll have to spell it out for him. Write out all the chores & divvy them up—he gets to take half, and the yucky ones (cleaning toilets, changing diapers, getting up on the middle of the night, taking off work to care for a sick baby) are divided up equally. If he doesn’t do them they won’t get done—let them pile up—and then if it gets worse, you only do your chores for yourself and baby. If he wants a fresh start, have him pay for a one-time maid service.

Leave for a while—a couple of days, ideally, and leave him to take care of all the house and the child.

Yes, you have to be specific about what he has to do. Let him whine. Make a chart and put gold stars for everything accomplished (1/2 star for a half-assed job, but don’t expect perfection, and if he does it differently from you, it’s OK). Rewards for completely accomplishing 80-100% of all assigned tasks in a week. Pizza, screen time, picking the movie/video, choice of take-out on Friday—whatever works for y’all. Add in chores for the little one as she/he is able.

Do this with household expenses too. Not sure how y’all divvy up the mortgage/rent, but divide up the total household expenses by percentage earned. Figure out if you make 40% of household income and he makes 60% then you pay for 40% of expenses and he pays 60%. Divvy up the bills & costs so it comes out like that. E.g. my husband paid the mortgage and I paid everything else; we bought our own personal stuff and had separate bank accounts.

Couples counseling is always a good idea before you throw in the towel. Be sure you see all bank statements, paychecks etc. So you know where all the money is going. Don’t tell him if you want a divorce if that’s what you ultimately decide.

SORRY SWEETIE BUT YOU PICKED THE WRONG GUY TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH…
Even before you got pregnant you must have noticed he was lazy and didnt contribute much unless you werent together very long before the baby came…
because once tbe baby arrived he got worse
Whos name is on the lease if its both of you you are stuck for what 6 months until its due
If you think he is going to change for you the answer is …NO…
He would be a great dad if he wanted to be but he isnt is he and all the time in tbe world isnt going to change that
What you have is a dud…who whines and complains
He doesnt like to spend money on either of you why…because he is selfish and inconsiderate
He would rather spend his time on his phone instead of enteracting
So put money aside every month so you can find your own place
and when the lease is due and you have another pkace to move into just leave
While he is at work pack everything up and leave …move forward and dont look back
Unfortuneately he is the wrong guy for you some relationships arent meant to be and this is one of them
Work on improving your own life only you can make yourself happy
All you can do is put up with it for now…and just before you leave voice how you wish things could be different…and how you arent happy
And then tell the landlord the month before moving that you wont be renewing the lease but you don’t know if he will because you are leaving him
Good luck in your future
