Regardless of whether it's true or not, my partner's problems are always inherently worse than my own. Whenever he has an issue that is solvable but requires effort, he refuses to do anything at all except mope around. It's almost as if he wants his mommy to come make things better and do it for him, but I refuse to be his second mother. Fuck that.
If only immigration and financial safety didn't keep me somewhat tied to him... Sometimes, I feel like I'd leave.
