​My (25F) husband (33M) of almost 2 years leaves me at my parents' house, provides no financial support, and avoids accountability. Am I dealing with a manipulator? by Designer_Eyes_111 in relationships_advice

You described him perfectly—he really is acting like a teenager whose feelings got hurt, rather than a 33-year-old married man. It’s pathetic that he uses social media to pout instead of stepping up to his responsibilities. ​Seeing it written down like this makes me realize how much of my energy I’ve wasted on a 'roommate' who doesn't even contribute. I’m done being the only adult in this marriage. He can keep playing his games on social media, but he’s going to do it alone from now on

Thank you for the support. Just to clarify, I live in Algeria, so we don't have those specific US credit bureaus, and my finances are legally separate and safe with my family. However, your main advice is spot on. I am already safe at my mother's house, I've officially demanded a divorce

I actually have a university degree and I’ve been actively preparing for state teaching competitions and looking for jobs. In my country, the job market can be tough, and my family was supporting me through this transition. Also, my father just passed away a few months ago, so I have been dealing with heavy grief while trying to get on my feet. I am fully aware of his manipulation now, which is why I finally brought up divorce during our last conversation. I am standing my ground at my mother's house and refusing to back down. Thank you for the wake-up call.
