Resolved Question

How do i find the strength to ask him to leave?

My fiance moved in my house within a month of us getting together(not a complete stranger! We been friends for 5 yrs!) Although i love him very much, i am realising he is not the man i thought he was. He makes me the same promises and then breaks them, mainly saying we can talk, and then he cant be bothered or too tired. He sulks if we (my daughter is 13) don't like the food he cooks, and he will not stand up to his mother on my behalf. My question is this: How do i get him gone, when just the thought of him not being here makes me want to cry!(what a wuss!)

i had to face facts, he had to go. he went, last night.

He sounds like he has a personality disorder, to me....a lot like my husband, the more posts of yours I read....

These things you describe, are not "faults"...this is the way he handles things in his everyday life...he's complacent....he goes in one day, and out the next, with no regard to what you need out of this relationship....and then, he pouts like a little boy, when he doesn't like something on his end.....This is WHO this man is, not little quirks he has....

It took his mama a lifetime to create this...and it will take a lifetime of undoing the damage....literally....are you willing to wait a lifetime?

I'd just be up front with him....tell him how you feel....and do it in a safe place....people can go crazy when being told a relationship is over (especially if they are not mature, grown men)....so, maybe have a friend over, so that you have moral support.... tell him, just before your friend is supposed to arrive....

It doesn't matter how you tell him...be prepared for the promises to change, to get help, to talk more, to care more....all the things he promises and never keeps.....(another reason it would be good to have a friend over)....or....

You could always pack his things....box them up, while he's at work....

The first thing is to remember that EVERYONE has their faults. the second one is to really take the time to figure out what is more important to you: (1) not putting up m with his faults or (2) having him in your life. I know I sometime sfeel like giving up on my marriage --- for similar reasons, in fact--- but my husband means ALOT more to me than "standing up to him" does! Maybe the answer is counseling, not breaking up. Good luck!

By building up courage then telling him "could you leave?"

If it's really going to hurt you that much. then why do you want to ask him to leave?
you must love some things about him to be with him in the first place. You need to weigh out the good and bad stuff.

If it's really for the best, you'll find the strength in yourself. If it's not.. then you'll stay together and work it out. But maybe he needs a boot up the buttocks to realise that he'll lose you if he doesn't shape up. I did it to my boyfriend - and it worked.

Maybe you could let him read your post by accident?

You two are not a good mix.Your child can see it too. Just say it like you mean it. It's going to happen.something will trigger the desire to tell him to go.an argument, a bad mood..that's when it will be harsh. It may be nice to tell him you need to talk. have it out honestly and straightfoward.

You have some big decisions to make--to be even second guessing your situation right now is a big sign of what is being felt by you. A man or woman that sulks is horrible to deal with-(I do) a man or woman that won't talk to you about their feelings--it's horrible--(I do) --lay it on the line with him--tell him how you feel--and take it from there--(I did) and feel freedom.

Do you really want him gone?

I don't know too many men that get all geared up for the 'we need to talk' thingy. Usually that is just asking for him to hide. Try another tatic.

How terrible is it to have someone cook for you and daughter? Maybe you should let him know what you two prefer.

Never get in the way of a man and his mother. Would you want a man getting in the way of you and your daughter?

All in all relationships are all about compromise. Learning this now is better than later.

Oh, and you're not a wuss.
