Posted by TomSawyerSo your advice is for him to deal drugs. Your wack.
Instead of seeking a green light on pulling the trigger, you could make this scenario interesting.
Withdraw 1000-2000 $ , give it to him on monday and tell him the new rules:
"You have a week to double this money".
Either he doubles it and he finds some thrill in making good money
Or he goes to the casino and gambles it ( + -, never know)
Or lastly, he refuses.
In which case it'll be your call what to do from then on.


Posted by nikkistarid have to agree with this.
I can't with this.
Three weeks isn't even a long time. Sure he could make more of an effort. But a marriage is a partnership. To me it is no longer "yours" and "mine", but ours. Bills need to be paid, guess what most of those bills are household bills that are both of your responsibility to pay.
Your marriage won't last because you're already keeping score. He obviously didn't always have an employment issue before, because if he did, you'd be dumb as shit to get married anyways. And if he did, then you knew wtf you were getting into before it, and I don't have sympathy for you if that's the case.
Regardless, we are only getting you side of the story. If this was years of this, I would think differently, but your talking a matter of weeks, or a few months at best.

If you aren’t divorcing - do what I do.
When I get him questioning about why I spent what I spent I say ‘I work’ and I walk out to my room.
It took a while. I think he finally got it.
And opening your own account in the same bank is a quick thing!
Then you can transfer money between accounts. And again - he gets anxious - who cares? Just do what you doing.
And start looking for better man!
These lazy asses are a nuisance!
How is your sex life? Is he lazy there as well?

id have to agree with this.
this is weird to be even complaining when you got married.
you both dont sound like you have any money
so it sounds like you needed to marry a millionaire, not some poor schmuck who cant keep a job. 😢
let him go and let him be, and find yourself a rich man.

I recommend you to reread the whole post because you didn't get the point across at all.
Is not the money, is his attitude towards jobs, family economy and her. From her version, he is not only lazy, but doesn't want her to have money for her even though she's the provider in this moment and the biggest problem, doesn't "let" her buy things accusing her of being selfish. Is easy to ask for partnership and commitment when is the other who is doing sacrifices.click to expand

Posted by RedemptionSongPosted by miriyahhh
What's y'all signs. I left my Leo of 3 years because he was so lazy and unmotivated. I on the other hand am super driven.
He's now homeless and has been for 2 years. I have done so much without him and feel like he would've done nothing but hold me back. I'm fully self sufficient and buy all of my own things new car my own place etc.
Sounds like you actually wanna work and like nice things he may be holding you back.
Once u start talking care of a man he gets used to it 😒
If it were me I'd be gone. I don't love any man enough to be homeless with him
Agreed.

She is actually thinking wether she should divorce him.
PS. Asking us about a situation we know nothing more than what you tell us isn't the best option. Don't rely on us to make an important decision.

Posted by lisabethur8
if it were me in her position, we would go to marriage counseling.
but most of the time they still end up divorce.
although, it is a good way to have some lessons for the next time.

mirryah and frog avatar peep named redemption
in real life i know this pisces woman, well she's a bff with my sister,
and she's with a bi polar mentally dysfunctional guy who is super sweet. she's a full time worker and wants children badly and she met him and he can't do multi task like take care of children at home and grocery shop
we ask..why doesn't he just go grocery shopping with the baby? But you see men can't multitask, he can only do one thing at a time and that's stay home and tend to the baby. well maybe some men can but it's not something he can do.
he doesnt work and stuff but why is she with him?
is it love?
Thin line between love and confusion. If she is happy with the situation who are we to judge. The OP on the other hand wants better for herself.

Posted by lisabethur8it does to me.
there's a saying going around with men,
women are always trying to change men.
when men wont change.
she's changing her mind cause she got frustrated that he's NOT changing who he is, his core.
she saw this man as a project most likely and then decided that its too much work to be with this man
this is her first sentence...plain sight.
I would like some feedback regarding my husband's mindset because I'm having a hard time changing his mind.

that's fine then, she should leave.
cause there's nothing worse than a woman complaining all the time and unhappy. (yes i'm putting myself in that position as well)

What you read is not what she wrote. But is not your reading skills what are lacking. It must be really hard for you to be a woman having your mindset.
Stop looking at everything as man and woman. Here one person is demanding work and understanding for another person, and she is not getting it (again, from what OP tells us).click to expand

Posted by tizianiThat’s what she said...
From your other post, I take it that your husband has changed just not in ways that bring out the best in either of you. He sounds like he's even more needy of what you bring to the relationship than even before.
Posted by Monsterchick741i still believe that you are trying to make a project out of him.
Let me just add one more thing. I can't obviously tell every single detail about my marriage but one time I was arguing with him. He started yelling at me and I got mad because I never yell at him. But he has always been disrespectful when I try to talk to him about things I don't like. I got tired and told him I was going to leave if he continued yelling at me and he threatened me. He said he was going to take all my savings out of the bank if I decide to leave. I'm talking about old savings I had even before marrying him.
So this tells you a lot about someone. He's the one that is obsessed with money, not me. What right does he have to take my savings? Almost like he wants to rob me. I never married him for his money. When I met him we both worked and I was always independent. But now we live together and have bills to pay and stuff. But I never imagined he was going to make problems if I want to spend. Even if it's things for our own house he gets bothered.
Posted by Taniwha
Regardless of who's money it is, you would both be allot better off if you just saved the money instead of consuming useless products. SAVE your money and don't spend it on useless shit.
It's only been a few weeks so don't stress about that, sit down and talk to him about your anxiety about him not working. Talk about your future and how the two of you are going to get out of the situation your in and get ahead. Ask him if he would like to pursue a new carrier, not just some 9 to 5 job to get by but an actually job that will provide for your family for ever. You guys need to sit down and have a big chat about whats going on.
Don't go spend your money on useless crap right now because you don't have any money spare to do so. You need to save it up and keep saving. One day you be able to spend it on something you really wan't like a degree in bio-engineering or what ever the hell you wan't to do with your life.
Posted by tizianimindset is strange.
"Can you tell me if it's normal for me to always give away all my money without using it for myself when I worked for it and earned it?"
What you're asking does not sound normal to me.
Posted by Diannathats what i read too. pwer control jealousy.
This has nothing to do with money and everything to do with power, jealousy and control.
Limiting her spending money also limits her social activities. Without money for clothing, he is also controlling her appearance. He doesn't want other men to notice her so he makes sure that a cute dress is not in the budget. This man is insecure.
It sounds like op is ready to take her power back.

Posted by TheRabbitConstruction comes to mind, when she is talking about his work.Posted by Cancervirgo15degreesI'm actually leaning towards this answer being the best...although I can't necessarily make a judgment about the husband's work ethic. There are jobs that slow down significantly or stop during winter months (but are busy AF during warmer months) and some folks treat those times like a vacation until business picks back up.
I sort of get the impression OP is irresponsible with money and just wants to spend the second she gets her hands on the moula amd it stresses him tfo .
If she had a part time job then he was probably the main bread winner all these years. Unless they live in a box under a bridge.
If someone told me to drive for uber i would tell them to gtfo.
I was also very picky and never could keep a job. Now well...I dont need to work really.
Finally, i need more info cause i feel like there are a lot of holes in this story or shit missing.
So imma say stop being a fucking princess, quit spending all your money when you have fuck all to spend atm, and whats yours is actually not yours cause your goddamn married, and if you didnt understand that part you should have never gotten married.
That is all.click to expand

If he wants to control the money he can get off his lazy ass and work. I don’t buy the whole ‘I’m picky and waiting for the right job to come along’ spiel. Gaps in your employment history are really damaging.
