Woman Says Boyfriend, 55, Would ‘Literally Rather Be Homeless’ Than Get A Job — Wants To Sit Around Eating Her Food And Watching TV All Day

Some people don’t break up over cheating. They break up over groceries, utilities, and the quiet rage of paying for everything while someone else treats the couch like a career.

That’s the dilemma a 52-year-old woman laid out in a Reddit post about her boyfriend, 55, who moved into the home she bought before they met. She said she works full time, pays all the bills, and handles the cooking and cleaning. He was technically still employed when they got together, she wrote, but once his contract ended, he never worked again.

After two years, she said she finally spoke up. “I simply said I feel a bit used,” she wrote. She said he denied it, accused her of tearing down his hobby despite her helping book shows and set up invoicing, and then got angry when she mentioned the house was hers. He declared, “its always about the money,” and asked if he should pack a bag and leave. She told him to go ahead. “He left on Friday whilst I was at work,” she wrote.

When Asking for Help Turned Into A Walkout

What stuck with her was what she saw as the core issue: he would rather blow up the living situation than contribute. “He would literally rather be homeless than help out around the house or get a ‘b******t job’ as he put it,” she wrote. In the same post, she spelled out what that looked like day to day: “The entitlement that he thinks I should work whilst he sits in my home, eating my food and watching my tv all day.”
