    ZTD - definitely agree. But I keep thinking maybe he's having a barney cos he's either got a guilty conscience or wants rid. Andif he does, I'll go. After cutting out the crotch of all his work jeans

    Ermm...how about forgetting what he wants - what do *you* want?

    Not to be treated like a !!!!. Not to have a boyfriend who drinks every single night and spends every weekend in a state that hovers between drunk and hungover. Not to be expected to demean myself for !!!!y little things. Not to be expected to be "normal" or have to do less purely becuase I cannot work, through no choice of my own. Not to have my "status" brought into every single argument.

    elfen, he won't change unless he wants to, and in my experience, they don't want to.

    Then it sounds like you need to sit him down and have a serious talk. Let him know how serious it has become.

    I know this should be obvious to him, but never attribute anything to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

    I'm gonna have a smoke, then I'm gonna go to bed and see if he's still Mr. !!!!!! Hampshire 2009. If he is, I'll be back in about 15 minutes.

    Then it's time to go. A relationship is a bridge - the two people are the uprights, and communication is the spanning piece.

    Without it, you have no bridge.
