I could relate A LOT with what you wrote, but this sentence stood out the most...whenever we did anything, I had to plan it, or ALL of our free time would be spent mowing the lawn and watching TV. I'd ask him to take me out to eat and wind up paying almost every time. I'd even give him money when he would not be able to pay, so I could still feel like i was being taken out...who the heck was more sick - him or me!

He was so emotionally bankrupt and wanted and asked for a lot...but never put in the work...perhaps that's why he lacked gratitude. He never had to do the work. I did it for him
