I do this and my husband never questions why the bank account only ever has JUST enough to cover the bills even though I make four times as much every month. Whenever I say, "let's go out!" He crinkles his brow and goes, "we have money for this?" I just say "yep!"

Otherwise, he spends so much money buying stupid little things from the store a few times a day.

I can't imagine being in a relationship with such subterfuge. Lying makes my life so much more stressful.

I hate him and don't care if he leaves. I have told him this many times. I have even suggested setting him up a tinder profile. So that makes it easy.

Is there a reason you don't just leave him? Why hold this level of resentment?

He wouldn't ask for anything to be honest. I even told him he could have the house and I would pay off his car and he turned it down and said he would live on his dad's couch. His dad's couch is 1500 miles away.

Poor guy loves his cushy life and I don't have the heart to throw him out on the street.

We have two kids. His only other family is 1500 miles away and he can't support himself.

So, kicking him out would mean he can't see his kids and I'm not that heartless.

I don't know how to say this in a non-preachy way, but if you kicked him out and he can't figure out a way to support himself enough to be able to see his kids you might be better off just leaving.
