Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML

Today, after spending money on all the furniture and decor in our apartment, paying rent every month from my bank account, paying for all the groceries, and paying for all the dog supplies, my fiance asked why I don't keep saving thousands of dollars every month, while he pays for none of it. FML

Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I wouldn't use $5,000 to build him a new gaming computer with my surrogate compensation, even though he basically refuses to get a job. FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML

Food fight

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML

Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML

Today, my boyfriend keeps mentioning how well his new job pays, while I don’t have any income. He then got upset when I expected him to pay for the groceries I got on my way to his new place. What I bought was stuff I needed so I could cook for him, and for me to eat while I’m there, cleaning and fixing stuff for him. FML

Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML

Today, my husband finally admitted that he squandered the last three months of my share of the rent on booze. He then blamed me, demanded more money, asked for a divorce, and stormed out. When he returned he asked, "How am I the bad guy?" FML

RUN!! run hard, fast and. long! if this is how he is now, imagine when the honeymoon phase is over. this is not a life partner but a man-child who wants a "mommy" that he can have sexy time with. I repeat-RUN

Why do you want to marry this guy? This is an obvious mistake! You're going to have to work twice as hard to support him because he's not going to change! He's going to stay a lazy slug. You can already tell. What kind of adult tells his girlfriend she needs to get another job so he can have his expenses paid for? It really sounds like he's using you for the money. RUN AWAY!

If a woman wanted to spend outrageously, I'd tell her to get a job too. It is a double standard, but now-a-days most women want to work anyway.

come on you totally deserve it! I imagine you knew that he'd never had a job before you decided to get engaged! you've been paying his way the whole time that you've been together I'm sure, did you really think that anything would change? why would you want to marry a jobless/gamer who demands that you work 80 hours a week while he sits around playing video games that you are paying for, all day?

Why would you marry a lazy ass that has never had a job and wants you to work 2 jobs. Did you buy the engagement ring too? I dont get you women that love a guy like that and wont date somwone like me
