    Am I wrong? I've (F39) have been with my BF (M38) for 4 years now. We live together and have a dog. He has a history of cheating, but it was back when we first got together, and we seem to be pretty good for the last 2+ years.

    I work full time and make the lions share of our income. He's a musician and also has a seasonal job from March-September. We pay the bills equally for the most part. There's probably around 2-3 months out of the year that I'll pay more than half. Anything extra I pay for, though. Dog

    grooming, nights out? That's all me bc I make considerably more money than him and I don't even care about that bc I think of it as our money and I like that he's home a lot to take care of the dog. It saves on dog daycare and I don't like leaving the dog by itself anyway.

    Recently I've been working 6 days a week, so on my only day off I get up early and get the weekly shopping out of the way. This past Sunday I woke up around 7 and took the dog for a walk, fed her and decided to go to the store. My BF was still sleeping and I didn't bother him. After I got done

    shopping I realized that my car wouldn't start. This was at 9:50am. I called my boyfriend 4 times before he answered and told him I was stuck at the store with a broken down car. His response? "Put your hood up and wait for someone to help you". The store I was stuck at is 10 mins from our house. My BF has a

    working car and hadn't worked all week. I add that bc I don't want anyone to think he was at work or even tired from maybe working all night the night before. I thought he was joking. I laughed and said "okay!! Haha". He was serious. He told me to put my hood up and wait for someone to

    ask if I needed help. I just sat there for a few minutes in disbelief. I've seen this man go out of his way to help other people, but he's telling me to beg for help in a parking lot when he's at home doing nothing else. I called him back and asked if he was coming to help me. He told

    me that he's wasn't driving all the way over there to help me when I could put the hood up and someone else would help me. I ended up calling a tow truck and the tow truck driver took my car to a shop and gave me a ride home. I got home around 1pm. Three hours after I called him for

    help and he was still in bed. So, I'm going to look at a new place tomorrow and hopefully I'll be out by the end of the month. I'm not fighting with him, I'm not doing anything besides getting away from him and asking him to leave me alone. Am I wrong?

    Edit: He didn't apologize when I got home and he got out of bed. He told me he wasn't my "servant" and there's no reason for me to be mad.

    Fairmount1955. 1 day ago Not wrong at all. "He told me that he's wasn't driving all the way over there to help me when I could put the hood up and someone else would help me." - he has showed you who he is. When it matters, he

    won't be there to help you even with something simple yet significant. The cheating was an indicator and pls never over look that again because it was an important signal that also showed who he was.

    home and pet care he handles, but he surely doesn't care about you working 6 days a week. Being single sounds preferable. Reply Share 108

    Elena_La_Loca · 1 day ago So... when you are leaving for this new place you are lining up for yourself (good girl!!!!)... I fully expect him to suddenly be all remorseful and crying and begging for you to stay.
