MLC or Exit Afffair?

I don’t think you’re being a doormat. And you are a single mom. It seems that patience is an issue at this time, but I think that’s what is needed. You have a really sh!tty roommate right now, I think that’s how you should think of him and treat him. For now, who cares if he’s out all night. Be a great mom, invest in some babysitters and go do stuff you want to do.

I know it’s hard. But you’ve obviously got this. I’m finding that detaching is getting easier. I’m not sure why. I did read the All Or Nothing marriage which might have helped. I also reread the section on the stages of marriage in the DR and found that helpful.

Bottom line, he’s a crummy roommate. Expect nothing from him. Give it 30 days and then think through your next action. That’s my thought. I really liked R2C’s post above. Solid thoughts.
