A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

hi everyone i have an increasingly growing problem, please bear with me.

im 18 i go to college full time but i was kicked out of my house at 16 so i live in a council flat and am on income support until i finish my college course. i work full time (non-paid)in a baby nursery as part of my course.

i have been with my boyfriend for 6 months and at first he was working a good job that he enjoyed and everything was great, until the company went bust because of the recession and he was made redundant. that happened at the beginning of December, he has had two jobs since which were long hours little pay and he ended up leaving both.

he has a very laid back attitude to life which usually is ok but i don't think he's trying very hard to get a job. which means im paying for everything he spends a lot of time at my flat often sleeping over when i don't really want him to. ive found out he helps himself to food in the kitchen. its driving me crazy i live off £35 a week, and most of its going on food mostly eaten by him or his petrol.

he's not a bad guy in fact he's brilliant its just he wont grow up and be responsible.

how do i make him see that its going to ruin the relationship

thanks x (sorry that's a lot of writing)

pvtguy thank you you sound just like him. he's a really hard worker when hes in a job he enjoys but when hes not working he just wants to have fun and chill out.

i dont want to argue with him and telling him off is like kicking a puppy ....avoidable at all costs.

im having problems figuring out how to word this problem to him as i dont want to nag at him or yell, but this 'discussion' has been going on for a couple of months now something has to give.

he now owes me £130 i cant afford to 'keep him'

xx
