    You have your home, job, finances, studying, hobby and kids organised - he has none of this. He doesn't want to spend more time with you, he's jealous of everything you have that he doesn't.

    I suspect there is a bit of jealousy on his part yes

    So why do you stay

    Im not saying you should leave btw, why are you with him?

    Also, I dont blame him for not wanting to move if rents are expensive, that seems sensible

    I think your bf is the one with the issues. He isn't getting much work so can't go out with his mates or kids. He can't afford to live nearer to you because rent is more expensive.

    He belly aches at you and blames everything on your zumba when he's the one with too much time on his hands, bankrupt, in debt and doing nothing constructive about it.

    He should be stepping up to the plate, finding a job so he gets regular income, sorting out his debt and showing you that he's worthy of being your partner and future step dad to your kids. He sounds like a whiny brat frankly.

    I spend Saturdays and Sundays with my OH and a couple of hours in the evening when OH gets home. I wish we had more time together
