The notion of drawing up an action plan for "your" future makes a whole lot of sense. The notion of drawing up a plan for a "joint" future ... not so much.

Bullshit detector has smoke coming out of the sides it's going off so hard. Actions, not words! Empty promises mean nothing---but apparently he hasn't figured that out yet.

He has come to me tonight... after being all kissy after work... to say we should draw up a plan for our future. This is s new one! I'd start with him officially moving to roommate status, contributing towards bills, doing housework and giving up weed. This is likely to be my starting point.... and I'm so sure he will fail!

Ok if you are not going to be around for your Oct. 1 anniversary, you have 8 days to knock a doable exit plan (or eviction plan) into shape and execute it. That's cutting it close, and tomorrow is Friday. So consult an attorney ASAP. One thing I wondered, and don't tell me! but how much bud does he have in the house? That's a pretty scary legal liability right there. For you too. If it comes to an eviction, will the bobbies believe you when you say it's his? Make sure your attorney knows about this. It's not gonna be this swift I'm afraid. And thank goodnessex he only gets what could be considered personal use! And look at that auto correct above ha ha. Left it in coz it amused me

SO eternaloptimism , just how bad a stoner is this guy of yours? I was quietly wondering this: if the guy is really all that incompetent - then maybe this is not fake, maybe it's an honest attempt by him but - this is as well as he can do. (And that's not a redeeming feature at all.) His attempts and attitude, in the end, just don't cut the mustard. He really sounds about as useful as tits on a bull. In which case one really could hardly make a case for staying. I mean, seriously: some people are just so hopeless, there's no point to trying to have an adult relationship with them, be it because they're stuck in infancy or be it that they are living with their head in the pink clouds or whatever. I know a few guys who start with their first joint before breakfast and reach double figures as the day goes on and ...... passes them by. A friend of mine was married to one of those. When I initially met them they were both teachers, taking turn and turn about teaching for a year, and taking time out. Years later she was working, coming home, looking after 4 kids, milking the goats, feeding the dog, baking bread and cookies, doing the dishes, cleaning the house, and he was sitting on the couch. Smoking dope. She finally gave him an ultimatum. He tried to stop, but could not bear it "because the colours were too bright, the sunlight was too harsh, the noises too grating" ... in other words reality was just too unpleasant for him with outbeing stoned. She'd split, gone back to him, but he didn't last, and in the end she walked. Some folk you just can't do anything with.

I'll have to watch Dr Hook later, but petrushka, you have encapsulated him perfectly there I think. I think this is as good as he is able to be. Basically he smokes all the time he's not working. He doesn't drive so it's not as though he even thinks"ok I need to drive to the supermarket, better leave off it for now". It's my payday today, and his weed ran out last night. Who wants to place bets on him saying about this plan and shit just so he can worm his way around me to buy it for him tonight?!

It's my payday today, and his weed ran out last night. Who wants to place bets on him saying about this plan and shit just so he can worm his way around me to buy it for him tonight?! He said he'd quit "Friday- after this runs out" and now it ran out Thursday. Hm. Bumbling coincidence or master-mind of conflicting mixed message so it can't be a commitment to something. I often wondered this about my ex. Did he say "two things" on purpose to aid later gaslighting or was he inept & meant both, not understanding the inherent contradiction in his promises? I scratch my head & I wonder but happily no longer need to are about an answer to the quandary. I'm still learning how to communicate one sincere thing at a time. I had been trained, or taken on this habit - where anything resembling a "plan" was actually a mash-up that never committed but rather that left all options open. Then, no matter how it came out, there was always "see - I thought I told you - that's what I said would happen" It was grating when he did it to me. I was appalled when I realized I had learned to do it too. The unlearning of bad traits continues. Good luck, EternalO!

Thanks GeekGoddess . He's very manipulative and intelligent. He will definitely be trying to scam me one way or the other just to keep me ticking along here with him. Actually, he had a tax rebate notification letter for a few hundred quid this week that he needs to claim...he'll end up saying he'll give me the money when that comes through....it's becoming more transparent and predictable isn't it! Xx

You're so young! Don't wait too long. Soon you will be 56 years old and full of regrets.
I hate confrontation. My hub can talk me into seeing his logic and discounting my feelings.
You may have to do the secret planning and running away from home thing. Leave a note and go.
