So just a backstory. I'm Lizzie, 25-year-old mom of two under the age of three. I'm unemployed, and I have a fiancé that works six days a week, extensive hours.

He makes around 150-k a year.

But when he's home, he thinks because he brings in all the financial support that all he has to do is be on his phone and do nothing around the house.

And I'm at my wit's end and I'm ready to leave.

But because I feel like I'm in a prison where I have no family, I have no resources of getting out

and showing him that I'm not going to stay somewhere where you're begging me to get a job,

but I still have to hold all the manpower in the house.

Yeah.

Well, so this is a simple solution, but it's going to be difficult. It's going to be hard to do, but it's

pretty simple. You're going to have to, you're doing a lot on your own. It sounds like anyway,

he's bringing in all the income. This relationship sounds like it's non-existent. Whatever exists

is certainly unhealthy. So it's the fiancé. Are they his kids?

Are they somebody else's kids? What's the story there? No, they're our kids. Okay. So you want

out, correct? Yeah, because I just think this person is not willing to change and he thinks that

there's nothing wrong with him or he's not doing anything wrong.

Okay, I agree. So you should get out. You guys aren't married anyway. So what I would say is you need to figure out what to do based on him not being around. You have to treat it like he's not around, period, no money.

Now, you're in a situation where you are in a prison because he's paying for all the bills.

You have no income.

So the simple steps are, and I say simple, I'm not saying this is going to be easy,

but the simple steps are you've got to figure out who would watch the kids when I'm working full time.

Can I do full time work from a remote situation and still be able to watch the kids?
