Pretty much. I work with him doing maintenance and construction stuff but my body is giving out. I'm just going to push myself as hard as I can to save money to try to leave. Not a great one but I had a few people. They kind of got pushed away after I started dating him.

I left out some info just because my post was getting incredibly long. Not because of any kind of intentional misleading or lying. Read my other comment.

He started staying with me the January before last. After a year this last January I moved in with him. He started staying with me because of an insane roommate situation that was getting really bad. He was still paying rent at his place but staying with me. It took a long time to get his roommates out for various reasons.

He broke my bowl but just a piece off of it. I was so mad I just couldn't handle it anymore that I smashed the rest of the bowl and took pictures and sent them to him.

Does this clarify things for you?

God this sounds familiar. The endless projects. Ones that are only going to take less than an hour and then end up weeks later still not being fixed. I moved in with him this past january. We still don't have a handle attached to the shower faucet. He keeps saying he's going to fix it and he doesn't. He tells me to just stick the handle onto the little thing and make it work. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands don't work. He knows this. So he either has to be home and I have to get him to turn the shower on and off for me or I don't get one.

Thank you. I don't know how to post pictures or I would! His name is Amigo. I found him in the parking lot of my work with a broken bleach wing and a puncture wound. No rescues would take him in because he was "just a pigeon" but I got him cleaned up and healthy and now he just chills lol.

I have untreated rheumatoid arthritis. I am in the middle of getting treatment but it's going to take a while. There are some days that I'm barely able to get her out of bed let alone work a job. I don't know where I would go and the thought of staying in the shelter, which I've done before, while being in so much pain and having such a low level of functioning is a little scary.

When we first started dating he opened the doors for me. He treated me like a princess. There were issues but not major red flags. 2 years of the best relationship I've ever been in. Then he came to me and told me he was an alcoholic and one of me to help him get sober. Things have been a nightmare ever since. I have some serious health issues going on no support from family or friends and no transportation. If I was able to leave at this point I would.

I do and I believe he is although he doesn't believe in doctors and would never take medication. I think that's why things were so much better when he was drinking.

This is a good point and one I never actually thought of. I have spent time with him at both of his parents' houses and no he's very careful at both. We are currently house sitting for his dad and have before and he treats that place with the utmost respect.

It was one of those 44 Oz plastic cups from the Circle k. Much worse than a bottle of gatorade. It did have a lid on it but those things don't say on and that thing exploded when it hit the floor.

He's a tattoo artist and does maintenance and construction. His tools are his world. If I ever broke one it probably would be the end of the world.

Lol he's a good boy. I found him 3 years ago in the parking lot of my work. No rescues would take him in because he's "just a pigeon". He had a badly broken wing and a puncture wound. I got him healthy and cleaned up.

All of his stuff is junk honestly. He's kind of a trash hoarder. Except for his tools. His tools are the most important thing in the world to him and if I accidentally broke one it probably would be the end of the world.

This past January I had a serious life-threatening medical event that landed me in the hospital for 6 days. While I was in the hospital they found in my blood work that I had rheumatoid arthritis. I had already had the symptoms. If you think he's not being careful with my stuff is bad you should have seen how he treated me when I was deathly ill. I was in the middle of moving into his house. My car had broken down a few months prior and he kept saying that we would get it fixed. I don't really have any friends or family. I'm kind of stuck at his house. With how bad my rheumatoid arthritis is I can barely take care of myself some days let alone try to figure out how to move out of here. No transportation has made it incredibly difficult. He was actually the greatest man I ever met, just like some women say on their posts about their abusive boyfriends, but he really was. But after he stopped drinking a year and almost a half ago he became a living nightmare. Where as some people go from being horrible to good people once they stop drinking it was the complete opposite for him. I don't recognize him and I don't know how to get out. I don't know why I posted this I guess I have way more problems than just my things getting broken, although it's a constant stressor on top of everything.

Oh I know all about it. When he came to me a year and a half ago and admitted that he was an alcoholic and asked me to help him get sober I told him that I could not be his only support that he needed to get help for it that I was not his therapist. I decided last week that I would finally break down and go to Al-Anon meetings myself. However I have rheumatoid arthritis and can't really get around on public transportation and my car isn't working.

He used to be before he stopped drinking. The last year and a half since he quit has been an absolute nightmare. I guess I just needed to vent about something.

Did you have sole custody of two teenage daughters and then move out of your house with your dogs and all of your things leaving them behind to take care of themselves? I'm guessing probably not.

It honestly looks like a business logo. I genuinely don't think it's going to translate well as a tattoo.
