The 30-yr old food-sink thing broke

I'm scared to tell my partner. Sure enough, he first calmly said ok. Then went bonkers. Brought out a plunger trying to fix it. We pay rent for maintenance..yelling that I put potato down there, which I didn't.

Screaming the fixers will "yell at him" they dont. They come fix and leave. Finally screamed I can't take this anymore and I want to move out.

1. If you are talking about a garbage disposal they usually get clogged and not hard to fix - just google on youtube

for easy fixes. Unless it actually has burnt out a clog is no big deal.

Now he paid rent, i pay water and groceries n car insurance . But he lives here too. He's paying rent but lives here. Uses the internet all day. Its not like he's paying for me to have a seperate place. He's a vile pos and its getting to the point i don't care about the pension..

I'm under a lot of stress due to a dental injury he is completely indifferent to. He's 72, smokes drinks eats shit n abuses his meds so maybe the trash will take itself out soon. I used to express my concern n got screamed at. He's snorting something right. Now. I don't care.

He's a big loser. Things used to be OK but since i became disabled he promised to pay rent and some bills and its just pissing him off
But he has nothing to offer. Hes repulsive, argumentative, know it all, smells, constant back problems, i mean why would anyone want to be around him? He's constantly being blocked on fb due to tone deaf mansplaining. He's explaining something about gov processes to a terrified trans in SC.

they couldn't take him anymore. His 25-paragraph fb posts. They apologize to me i say block the ducker idc. I can't stand him

And all my cash disappeared into my mouth. I'm. Not ending up sitting on dirty pavement begging homeless. I have the right to live here. I just want him to leave me alone.

Closest relative won't invite me into her spacious maid-, cleaned home. Thought about domestic violence shelters but their tough places. I know from my job. Can't afford even a room in a house. Try to cope by ignoring him but i had to tell him about the broken thing. Like i said his health habits are dangerous so...
