My Boyfriend Moved In, Quit His Job and Left Me Paying the Bills

After eight years together, I thought my boyfriend and I could finally build a future. Instead, moving in together exposed how much responsibility I had been carrying in the relationship. He quit his job after barely a month, and I paid the household bills for months. I also handled the cooking and most chores, while he used my car and still complained about how I spent my time and money. When I needed support after a frightening confrontation with my hairstylist, he showed little concern and criticised me instead. He later moved out without telling me, and I realised I did not need a dramatic betrayal to leave a relationship that no longer worked.
