[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years and we have a 3 year old child.  We are both in our mid-twenties and have been living together for 3 years.  The biggest problem I have with him is that [/b]he acts like he can't do anything for himself.  It's like he can't handle his business.[b]  For example, if it comes to needing to call XYZ Business to find out about their services, he asks me to do it.  If he needs to go buy something in particular, he asks me to call around to stores to see if they have it. [/b] I don't understand why he can't do things on his own. [b] He works at a job where he cannot easily use his computer or phone to take care of personal business.  At my job, I can use my time at anytime to take care of personal business.  I understand that I have more time to take care of things, but I feel like he also needs to be more assertive in taking care of his business and handling things like a man.  Do you think I should bring this up to him?  Any thoughts?  [/quote]

You DO understand why he CANT do things on his own. The more accurate and unpleasant statement is "I angrily accept that I take on his responsibilities"

My toddler son helps unIoad the dishwasher and set the table the best way he can. My 70 year old father on the other hand " can't" do those things for a number of lame excuses.   [/quote]
