[quote=Anonymous]OP I dated this guy. Spontaneous, exciting, fun. We walked everywhere and went on crazy budget trips. He had odd obsessive exercise habits and no idea how to manage money. And we didn't have any so who cared?!

There's all kinds of names for guys like these...Peter Pan, eccentric, etc. But when you break it down what you really have is someone who eventually ages out of this stuff. A good looking 23 yo guy who goes everywhere on his skateboard can make that work. The 43 yo usually has issues. Regardless of what your ideal life looks like, you can't build something with someone who refuses to think about anyone's needs but his own. And the whole "single roll of toilet paper/dinner sandwich" and "baby doesn't need curtains" *screams* this. In your 20's it's eccentricity. In your 40's with a family? It's just blind selfishness.

I always scratch my head at the ladies on here who post about their "absent minded professor" type husbands; we work so hard to find lovable ways to enable men. And hey if it works for them, sure. But it wouldn't work for me, and it sounds like it doesn't for you either. Bottom line: sometimes you grow up, and they don't, or never were going to. Hoping you two can work it out for baby's sake.[/quote]
