If for whatever reason you dont like my advice, feel free tofile a formal complaint here.
Now then, lets get on with it.
Dear Patrick,
I have been dating a man for almost a decade.
Neither one of us wants to get married.
A few years ago, he gradually started moving in without discussing it.
I mentioned that he needs to pay rent since hes living with me full-time.
He balked saying hes not using that much electricity, gas, etc.
Its been three years and still no rent.
Its hurting our sexual relations because I resent him for it.
He is a sex fanatic, however, and its hurting our relationship.
Im ready to ask him to move out.
What do you think?
Ready to Let Go
Hey Ready to Let Go:
I say pull the trigger and evict this cheap-ass.
Youre clearly just looking for someone to agree with the decision youve already made in your head.
I mean, you signed off as Ready to Let Go for crying out loud.
If youre so ready, just do it.
Here is your 100% Pure Unbiased Third-Party Opinion Certification.
He sneakily moved in without askingnot cool.
He hasnt paid you any rent, even after you asked him toalso not cool.
Hes using you, ignoring your feelings, and being disrespectful; then constantly asking you for sex.
No wonder you resent him!
Who would want to get down with such a stingy little skinflint?
Im surprised he doesnt ask you to pay him each time you give in.
Ready to Let Go, who cares if he does what you ask and takes you places?
A housekeeper and an Uber driver could fulfill those needs, and probably cost you less.
Call the exterminator before he gets you sick.
