he's hanging out with 24 year old girls? he just turned 40??
this is obviously, obviously an MLC.
particularly coupled with the "i dont wanna do any work" attitude.
You cant change him. you can only protect yourself and your children, and hope he comes back to reality. But if not.. you need to protect yourself.

best thing you can do, is move BACK in the house.

Why can't I change?


There is no change you can make, that can turn yourself into a no-strings-attached 24-year-old eye-candy-bunny. So dont try.

You said you were afraid of him doing the bachelor life...
How does you just giving him the house to live in, avoid that happening?

About the only thing you can do, is stop trying to talk him out of it.. in particular to not try ANY kind of guilt on him. Trying to guilt an MLCer, is pure diaster.

I suggest you make yourself comfy in the MLC forum, and get some comfy clothes and a comfy seat to sit in. It's gonna be a long trip, i'm afraid :-(
