    Mood swings once a month, coupled with verbal abuse and threats to strangle? That's an everyday, healthy relationship! :D

    I do not tolerate abuse.

    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    everyone needs a little verbal abuse once in a while to keep them on their toes. As long as it is not physical, that should not be tolerated whatsoever.

    Number 2. Just beat his ass bi-monthly to keep him in check.

    'credit debit' is good though...no? I don't know about 'chronic credit debit', does that mean they're only allowed a low finance arrangement on really crap things?
    Like the bank says, 'we'll lend you £2 to get this months GT magazine, and that's your lot for this decade'.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    If I tell who they are, your answer will be bias.

    my life has been in limbo for awile now because i can't make up my mind. it sucks!

    they buy whatever they want, when they want. rather if they can afford it or not. whenever i think it's stopped....they've got it under control...they buy buy buy again.

    Well I'll answer in my own biased way. :p

    If I was in a relationship, it'd be with Person 1 then. You can always work together and come up with a plan to try and help get out of debt and watch over and help them, and after time I'm sure you'll get used to the OCD aspect. If they were just a roommate, then I wouldn't bother having them around as much as I would person number 2.

    Not when it comes to a financial agreement to live together and holding up your end. At that point, being just roommates, if they hit that period where they're verbally abusive, I'd just leave without having to worry about hurting feelings and having myself brought into the situation as if I were in a relationship with them. It'd be easier to just leave them on their own.

    I hope this helps. :)

    they won't get help for it either.....we've talked about it.

    But it's minor isn't it?

    However, if you can't stand it, then quite possibly, you shouldn't live with it if you know for sure you won't get used to it overtime and the other person won't get help for it.

    However, I do still believe an annoyance to oneself is better than being verbally abused by someone.

    sound like winners...

    personally, I'd go with #2. it depends on the level of abuse, though. i wouldn't wanna have to bust a cap.

    mood swings arrive on a monthly basis for most women. ;) if they only happen every other month...you're golden.

    it's not a good idea to live with someone who has chronic financial issues. you don't want their problem to become yours.

    this is true.

    As for helping them budget…
    I can’t constantly stand over their shoulder and make sure they do right.
    It’s like a smoking habit. I can’t make somebody quit. They have to do it on their own.

    Got me thinking.
    So thanks.

    You're welcome. Always glad to help. :)

    Good luck on your decision and I hope everything works out.

    I know right!

    I need to stop thinking about it. every time I do I feel like putting my head thru the wall.

    this is the person with the mood swings every 2 mos? I don't know I would still take that over mild ocd and credit card debt. I can hold my own and dish the abuse right on back :p.

    But either is are ideal. Im sorry that your dealing with that :(

    I am no expert on spelling and I make mistakes, too, but 'debit' and 'debt' are two different things...

    see that's what i was thinking.
    but this time around it was bad. felt like throwing myself into the lake out back. the person was very ugly. and i can't stand when they finally come around and say sorry. hello, do you realize how many times you've said sorry in the last 6 months?
    and being nasty right back is not my M.O. Kill em with kindness so they feel like jackasses is the way i roll.

    Well that really isn't good at all. See I'm thinking about me...I have a giant temper and I don't take too much shit. I would probably scare the moodiness out of the S.O.B. It's just the idea of living with someone who has ocd..that is a daily thing that would drive me nuts. And debt to boot..hell no. My sister's husband has ocd's and it's irritating.

    I'm sorry I really don't know what to tell you. When you love someone, you will take a lot but it seems like its getting to be a real problem. Maybe you should consider getting out of the relationship.

    awwww..cmon now...a lot of people get the mentality that they won't find anyone better or whatever but you can't stay in a relationship that's abusive if indeed it is.

    But hey....cat's aren't so bad...I think Im gonna get 10 of em and live in a isolated cabin somewhere :p
