    Quick Question.
    How would you feel if your brother or sister had to sell there new phone to get some money for fuel for the car and bills etc.

    While there other half is at home all day long either asleep and watching t.v and refusing to go out and work and bring in a wage.

    I would have the wife gone by now if she acted this way.

    We rarely know as much as we think we do about what goes on in other people's relationships. I'd keep well out of it.

    Who buy a new phone if you can't afford fuel?

    I wouldn't feel either of them. I think that's a little strange.

    Do they have kids ??? Is she taking care of them and house?

    If not no not fair. I guess she wouldn't be on the couch then.


    I say if you can't beat her join her....live like hippies.....until they kick you out

    Then run away with the circus...


    P.S Running away with the circus is a perfectly legitimate life choice. If my plan sounds vague so is your scenario.


    No tis not fair.

    Kick up the hole and send them into next week. You don't need to start a thread to know this person is a waste of space. Tell her to leave him freeze his balls off and he won't be long getting moving.

    I think eternal was assuming the non working partner was male.

    But making the discussion gender neutral might be more productive. If they are down to the selling of the phones and she/he is not helping something is wrong that should be enough motivation. I don't know what you can do though. Ask them if everything is ok?

    As a sibling you might get your head bitten off.

    I would keep the phone and propose riding as an alternate method of staying warm.

    What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bathroom floor because he's hungry and the only way to feed is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money?

    And his daddy's gone, somewhere smoking pot now
    In and out of lockdown
    I ain't got a job now

    Next time sell the TV rather than the phone.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    For all we know the other half is in bed all day because she's crippled with depression.

    I'm not judging something I know so little about.
