Luke,

I want you to look at this from the outside for a minute. A man lives with a woman but doesn't have sex with her. He's done it for three years. What advice would you give this person from the outside?

I know that you don't want a D. But you do need to take a look at reality. Take all the bills and split them 50/50. If she has time to have a toyboy she has money to pay the bills.

Earlier I was talking about splitting 50-50 about child handling responsibilities. But when you mentioned economy it just stuck. It doesn't have to be much, but you need to point out that you will eventually withdraw your economic support and it would be good if you opened an account where you both do direct deposits. You don't have to split 50-50, but you do need to do something. Reality is a harsh mistress. She needs to wake up and you're not doing anything to wake her.

What advice would you give yourself in this instance?
