To: For my partner’s birthday I made sure that he had a gift, cake, card, and s** at midnight. I invited a mutual friend. We partied. I tried to make it fun for him.
Me: He has mental issues which is why he went into rehab, so with that and his video games you come a very poor second in his life.
Whatever his reasons for being with you, the bottom line is that you provide services to him, that he does not have to pay for, or provide himself and whatever those are, they do not justify your choice of partner, or any expectation he will ever change, because he is happy with his place in life, so why should you not be too – and well, a Leopard can’t change its spots any more than he can either.
“Why buy a cow, when you get the milk free”, sort of thing.
I would suggest you dump him and try again – there are many fishes in the sea, it just seems that this time you have got a Cuckoo (they leave their eggs in the nest for the “mug bird” to bring up – having thrown out the mug bird’s eggs from its nest).
Look no further than the nearest mirror to see the mug in your nest!!
New Year’s resolution?
The truth always hurts!!
