Hi, my name is punkin, and I've been on these boards for about 18 months or so now. I've been away as I've been moving into a new place and just catching up. Your thread caught my eye. All three of them. So here goes . . .
Tina, I'm afraid in your case, it sounds as if MLC stands for Mooch/Loser/Con. Hasn't found a job in how long??? Let me guess, he's holding out for an executive position. Surely there is a Burger King out there hiring. How hard is it to say "Would you like fries with that?"
I think Walking above is correct. You need to reassess your feelings about YOURSELF. Yes, you have a child with this man, but it seems like sperm was the last thing he contributed to the marriage.
Take a good long look in a mirror. Doesn't Tina deserve better than this? I'm not saying run for a divorce. I would never say that, but someone needs to put on his big girl panties and step up to the plate here. If that is too much to ask, than . . . WHAT?
Take W's advice. Search out some counseling for yourself. Find your own niche and your own self-esteem.
Hope I haven't been too abrasive. It is just my thoughts on the facts as you present them. I'm not saying you do not belong on the board. Everyone is welcome, but you definitely need some personal counseling and BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.
And by the way. He can take the bus to the Burger King.
