You got together with a 27-year-old when you were 20. He was living in squalor and was perfectly happy doing so. You’ve outgrown him. Leave him. He disrespects the current living space, what makes you think the new place won’t get turned into a trailer park too? He pitches a fit when he insists on going to his dumb ass chain restaurant but also doesn’t want to spend money or eat a healthy home-cooked meal. You deserve better, sister. Get a partner, not someone you have to mother.
