I just want to know what I should do. My ex-boyfriend and I just broke up a month ago. We have two kids together. When we lived together he would not do any thing to help me around the house. I was the one going to work full-time and I was the one taking care of the children all the time. I could not get any time to myself and I also did the cooking and cleaning etc… I'm the type of person who likes to cuddle and he told me I was too clingy. Now you see, I'm only 21 years old and I was with this guy for three and a half years. He just moved into his mom and dad's place and I live with my parents now. He keeps telling me that he wants to work things out, but it seems to me like he's not trying to make a change because he sleeps all day. I tried everything to get him out of bed and he told me I was too controlling. When I ask him about us, he says he doesn't want to talk about us right now. Yet, he says he wants to work things out? Now my question is: should I move on or should I wait around for him? -Lonely With Two Children

Dear Lonely With Two Children,
To be completely honest, it sounds like your ex has some serious growing up to do. He wants you to be there to clean, cook and work, but he can't even be bothered to get out of bed. What type of relationship is that? Would you want your kids to be in a relationship like this? What kind of example is he to your children as a male role model? If it's like this after only three years, imagine what it would be like five or ten years down the road. This point of your life should be about self-discovery, not working your butt off for zero rewards. If you want to jump back into the relationship because it's comfortable that's your choice. Honestly, you could do a lot better than this guy if you randomly picked someone off the street. To me this is a no-brainer. Leave him and don't look back.

With Love,
