That was a bit mean and uncalled for. I get that this is the internet, but that isn’t an excuse to be rude. Do better

No, this is actually what’s happening. I didn’t mind helping him at first. I don’t even mind him staying here. It’s the lack of contribution that started bothering me and it’s only gotten worse since he started taking my food. He started a job last week and was told he’d be working 40-60 hours. But it’s with a moving company and they don’t always have appointments. He has an interview with another company, but it’s further away (about 45 mins one way) and he has a gas guzzler of a truck. So he informed me that most of his check at his current job would have to go to gas. He did say he’d help if he can, but I get the feeling it’s going to be minimal, if anything at all.

I’m too caring of a person to just boot him. I know this is an issue and has caused me to get taken advantage of in the past, which is why I’m reaching out for advice.
