...weve essentially been screaming and arguing about every essentially step of this move. Is my life essentially ruined?

Is this the same abusive gf you keep running back to


Yep.

I mean she literally just said the only reason she is staying with me at this point is sunk cost and to avoid homelessness. Not really sure what to do in this situation. Doesnt seem interested in making up and is probably about to make me look like an idiot in front of my friends and family who are helping us move.

You should just leave.
Life is too short, you don't owe her anything. Just end it.

I mean now its more complicated. Its not exactly like I can find something else by next weekend.

For the love of God, leave her. Leave her leave her leave her. I was in a similar situation. It's not worth it at all. You're ten times as important as she is. Please reconsider this.

Well uhhhh welcome to Austin? Plenty of girls here once you dump your girl.


Its pretty sad thats looking to be the contingency plan at this point. Bout ready to kick her out and tell her to live in the other bedroom. Ive been trying to be patient with her but Im seriously over being treated like this. She is getting more done than me when I am still working. She wouldnt even be able to afford this move without my wallet.

Yeah, you can't do that. I was with my wife 20 years and I was miserable. I got wonderful daughters from it so no regrets. But after my divorce, I have made plenty of friends and dated plenty of hot women. A better life awaits...

Nope. She has her cousin though. I was trying to avoid it and actually work through things, but I am over sitting here and listening about how everything is my fault.

Well, are ya? She might be terrible but you also have to take responsibility. Probably too late to salvage this with this much resentment, but you do need to learn for next time, both what you can do better and what warning signs to look for. You can only control yourself.

You're screwed if you move in with her. I've been in a similar situation, being with someone so miserable and cruel. It's never, ever worth it. Moving in with her is only going to make you feel so much worse. You need to prioritize your own happiness and mental health.

As opposed to what? Separating all our shit, finding a place in a week and a half, moving it all, paying her off with thousands of $$$?

Wtf dude? Isn't she fat too? So it's not like you're giving up your dignity to bang a supermodel or something. That wouldn't be much better, but still.

That would require finding another roommate. I think its sad its gotten to this point but we got into a fight so bad the other night she slapped me, and then this morning this all escalated because I asked her if she packed all our hand-towels when I needed them last week. Which turned into You dont help me do anything, and you tell me Im doing a bad job when I literally never said that.

Christ.

You people know that being alone isnt that bad right? I see so many people in shitty relationships because they cant seem to handle being alone but, trust me, its a million times better than this bullshit.

It was on-off again. She started getting therapy and was improving a bit, but I think this is all just stressful for someone who is mentally ill to deal with.

The reality she probably does genuinely feel like she is pulling all the weight, and that I am being useless. The issue is I dont know what to even do about that.

I've heard worse.. I was mostly being glib and I apologize. Over a decade ago I moved to Philly with my now longtime ex-gf. We moved into the new apartment and never even unpacked. So, I can relate to this in a way, and I'll just say that sometimes it's easier to have the difficult ending BEFORE moving to a new city.

You probably aren't pulling your weight is my guess. Doesn't excuse her behavior though.

I literally asked her how I can help. If I try to touch any of her stuff and pack to she will yell at me cause I am doing it wrong. If I try to pack any of my stuff, she will redo it and say I am doing it inefficiently. If I do nothing she says I am not helping. If I try to call for trash pickups, or schedule logistics shell get mad when I ask her details to coordinate appropriately.
