To leave or not to leave?

I've been with my man for 3 years. We live together and he has developed a great bond with my 2 kids. This past year is as if he has gotten so comfortable that he feels like he doesn't have to do anything for me any more, on top of becoming kind of mean to me. He didn't have a job for a year and it was a really rocky year. He just got a job, but things just aren't the same anymore. More and more of the things he does makes me annoyed and I am starting to feel a little less attracted to him. A few examples.... He waits until I'm sleeping to crawl on top of me, he farts on me, he easily shouts out how sensitive I am or tells me I am selfish, he uses my car over and over and never puts gas in it, he turns the tv even though i'm already watching it. I know some of these things may sound a little petty, but when it happens over and over, it becomes a bit of an issue. These are just a few things that are really starting to get to me though. I have told him about these things and he gets angry at me and tells me I'm ignorant and need to grow up. I am at the point to where I am fed up with it all, but I don't know what to do. I love the man and don't want to break up with him, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life living like this as well.

You are certainly at a turning point. If you really want it to work you need help. Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss counciling or a local support worker. These things you are speaking of can and will destroy your relationship and you will start to be unattracted to him and he will start to look else-where for the attention he needs. Please do take the lead and help him through it by telling him how unhappy you are. If he loves you he will come with you on this journey. Good luck!
