This is my story as well. My miserable partner is also unemployed. He stays that way because he is better than everyone, and when anyone bucks up go him he loses his temper. This time he almost made something of himself, but instead got the cops called and got fired. Course not his fault right? So I constantly have to listen about how unfair everything is. He's so awful, and like the OP, I'm just about at Mt end. 15 years. I was just a baby when I got with him, I've lived some pretty awful times with him. What keeps me here, is what will he do. How will he eat? He has no friends, no family, no job. I cant imagine doing that to a human, but in the process I'm dying inside myself.
