I've done my best for my boyfriend, and (quite literally) given everything to make him happy. He has continuously comes home in the last 6 months between 4am-9am on Fridays and Saturdays claiming that his job gave him a hotel room (he's a "sous"-chef).

He doesn't work in a hotel, and has constantly told me since 2021 that his new uniforms are being embroidered with "sous chef", despite me never seeing it. I've been paying $1,500/mo for rent, plus electric, internet, and every streaming service (even paying for his cellphone & Xbox Gamepass for the last 9 months). I always make sure he has food when he gets home, massages as needed, and I even wash his work clothes...he always has an excuse about hours' being cut, unexpected expenses, etc to where he can't help out, but I've found empty bourbon bottles, coke bags, even empty bottles of NyQuil that I KNEW were unopened the day before...

I'm starting to feel like I'm being taken advantage of, and I decided to stop responding to his texts yesterday afternoon. He texted me 51 times in 24 hours about everything from "how's your night going", to "I'm worried about you", to "are you coming home tonight?", and finally telling me that he "can't find the cat, and he's been looking everywhere but he just wanted me to know."

I just don't know what to do, or who to talk to, because when he is home, he's usually (literally) crying about how shitty his life is, and how bad he has it... I do understand that he lost his parents at a young age, and that he has some personal issues that he says he's been working on.

Am I wrong for wanting to cut things off with him and just move on? Or should I stick around and set my expectations in stone and hope he hears me? I need some advice.
 
Cut him loose. He's got a great meal ticket who will do his laundry and believe his lies. Why would he ever change that situation? If you're co-habitating, put up some cameras (say you're worried about the cat) and watch what he does during the day. Call him out on the drinking and vids. He needs to grow up.

He ended up texting me the following morning that he found the cat in a cupboard, which is very strange... But I think I know he knew I would respond if he said that. He's been a part of my life every day since 2018, and this is a tough decision... As an executive sous chef myself, I completely understand long days, but there's never been a situation where my employer has offered to pay for a hotel room for 3 nights straight.

I honestly don't know what to do. I know I need to cut him off and change the locks, but it really bothers me when I think about not knowing where he is when I get home. The anxiety is keeping me up at night.
 
He's probably clapping your cheeks for more food, warmth, and shelter.
And then he's going to say it's your fault but I'm sure it's not !!

That sounds very sad.

Oh babe, I've kept it shaved and clean, but I haven't let him fuck me in over a year, he's not welcomed in my bed. 😂

Im just emotionally & mentally fucked up over this.

Ok, I am going to assume this is real. If so, YES he is using you and cheating.

I am sorry, but I hate it when guy a treat women like that. You are not an ATM( A.I. hasn't got emotions)? No, A.I. wouldn't think like that.

Seriously, party all the time on your money? He is a cheater and not very good at it.

This is not a case of lending him $50 dollars because he forgot he put his cash in a money clip. Then paid you back.
 
He's deflecting responsibility. Because he can't tolerate being wrong or imperfect !!! Yes.

They don't care how they fck people over. That's just Sad.

Definitely a very real situation I'm currently dealing with. Not a "forgot to put money in his clip" thing... More along the lines of "can you Venmo me for an Uber", then I don't see him for 2 days.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, btw. Ugh. That's a long time to have someone be big in your life. We're here :)

Yeah, I'm definitely changing the locks, and telling him he needs to move his stuff out by Dec 1st. I'm sure he's gonna break down and cry etc, and it'll be tough, but I know I gotta do it.
 
Guys like this are parasites. They make women bitter towards real men.
If my tone is harsh, I am a little sorry, but not totally. I call'em as I see them. I have no stake in this. I have no idea who you are, but please you can do better.

You would be better off alone and saving that money of yours he is squandering. You support him and he cheats and is a constant liar.

What nerve; sous chef's make sauces for real chefs. Oh we need you stay for freshly prepared sauces? Ok some in advance.

THIS HAS TO STOP. You are being cheated on and giving him money to party and cheat on you.

If you have any doubts; hire a P.I., this should be real easy to prove and show him the pictures and/or video. That's if you absolutely 💯 % are not seeing it.
You are ,but believing it.

Also go online to find tips on how tell if your boyfriend is cheating. Guys get arrogant and stupid and are easily caught.
Few are really sneaky.

Please don't let this con man ruin your life, and please don't let this ruin your opinion of decent men.
 
But he's so nice and likeable, right. Very clever, charming and witty too I'm sure.

And you're going to make him cry !!!! How Dare you. ;);)
He is actually VERY charming and likable. I get what you mean tho, I just need to be strong and not give into his responses. My problem will be getting used to knowing that I'm gonna be alone for the immediate future, coming home to nothing, and not having someone there to watch "our shows" after work.

That should have been your first sign. You may not be having sex, but he is.
Sorry, but guys who are dicks always get cocky.lol The emotional part, that can go away if find a real man.
 
Oh don't worry. He will gladly find somebody else to use.

I cain't stand whimpering cheek clappers like that. It pathetically hurts my stomach.

Nothing else will matter. Ever.



Ever !!!!!
