Anyone ever have situation where your gf/bf/spouse refused to cover and pay their half of rent/mortgage utilities etc?

Parasitic people are the worst. The saddest thing is why the F do we settle for such losers? To think that if they just give us sex like the girl below suggested and not help bring something to the relationship. Its just pathetic. I think us men are really the worst at thinking straight at getting a good partner to be with. Our head on top doesn't do the thinking!

@AmazingPoet: The person I mentioned was my ex. It was a sexless relationship for a long time. I tried to fix it. It was him, not me. He couldn't accept the fact that he was gay. He pretended he was bi. It was a disaster. But I have an incredible son from it. And I appreciate my partner now more than I ever would have before. I cannot comment on how men think as I am a woman. I think men may put up with more crap if they are having sex. Women I think require more than just sex to be happy in a relationship.

@PoetryNEmotion: I would agree with your comments generally, but age has a lot to do with it as a male. I believe men put up with more crap early on when they are younger but as their testeserone fades and age sets in sex takes a backdoor and we require other things more than sex to be happy. Mileage may vary - but that is how I have felt.

@AmazingPoet: I think as each of us becomes older, we become wiser where relationships are concerned. We have lived enough and know what we can and what we cannot live with. Thank you. I have enjoyed this chat.
