More of a rant

How do I get my fiance to help me... He is completly useless. I am 29 weeks and high risk. He will not help me around the house. I told him tonight that his dog vomited in the floor, he refused to clean it up and even watched me puke 5 times while trying to clean it up. Now my stomach is cramping so bad that I am in tears.. I am about ready to pack my stuff and hit the road...

Tell him cleaning up a lil bit is WAYYYYY cheaper than child support and having to do everything for himself

I am so sorry :( I have a selfish partner too, but he's getting better about thinking of me, and does things when I ask (even though he sometimes complains). But your guy sounds like, I'm sorry to say, an *******. You need to let him know how you're feeling, and make him understand that if he doesn't step up, you're going to leave him.

I also have a 7 year old daughter from a previous relationship that lives with us. He does not help with taking care of her needs... I am so worn out from lack of sleep and being the only one that cleans. The puppy he got my daughter for valentines day pooped in the floor yesterday and he tried to make her clean it.. Needless to say she got sick and I had to clean up after both of them.. He promised if he got her the puppy he would help clean up after it...

I am one that when I puke it drains every bit of my energy... Then he is telling me he needs his clothes washed for tomorrow. Also ask me why I am starting that s#!+ when he sees me crying.

OMG. I am so sorry.  My husband is like that. I am on bed rest now and he does nothing.  He acts like he is being put out. They are letting me stay home instead of the hospital and he is like do you need to go stay at the hospital.  He complains about how tired and worried he is, like I'm not.  He wants to drink then say well you can call 911 if you need a  ride. He will not do anything in the home. I want to leave too. I'd say if someone shows you who he is, believe him. He is not the one. I wish I had taken my own advice.  Because he was just just as bad with the 1st baby but I married him anyway. Now I truly regret it. I have been in pain and sick this whole pregnancy but all he can think about is him.

If he's already that far in to letting you do everything and even watching you suffer while doing so, I don't think it's going to change. You could talk to him but any man with half a heart wouldn't let his woman go through that. I'd lay down some rules and tell him if he don't help he can beat feet.

The only thing to really do is talk to him and tell him how it is. Hope it works out.
