I believe I've only been trying to tell "him" that our "relationship" has problems because he promised to do things around "the house" but I keep finding out he's been going out on me. Can I continue using the "wife" analogy?
"She" says the problem is that now there are the kids "she" has to take care of; she loves you but she can't give you the undivided attention you got during the courtship and honeymoon, because the kids need "her" too.
Kids? The kids this "wife" wants to take care of belong to a neighbor that has done nothing but tear down the fence around my home and stolen every good thing I've ever owned.
