Spot on advice by the guys. Tell her you're out at the end of next month and that you'd like her to come, but you're leaving and taking the money with you.
It sounds like his wife is in a relationship with the couple and he's oblivious to it because he's out working. He needs some counseling to discover why he tolerates this situation. They don't have any children together. It's a perfect time to make a break from her before she ends up pregnant.
@@Austenfan177 So odd and that's the only thing to think of that makes any sense. I sure as heck wouldn't stick around to find out. I'm not for leaving a relationship that's worth saving, but this doesn't sound like it is.
That was the kicker to me too. Divorce is generally not an option but this is a good one to run by a pastor and seek wisdom over. She’s already divorced him in her mond
@@generallordjowbra8871 I completely disagree on this. The laws of nature have not changed. If you’re not a Christian we won’t have a mutual world view to debate from so our arguments would be mute.

@@OopsFailedArt marriage can't be sacred when these girls have no ability to pair bond due to their choices in HS and college. The Dave Ramsey channel is filled with reasons why you shouldn't get married and very few examples as to why you should.
@@generallordjowbra8871 pair bond? Please explain. Regardless marriage is called sacred by the creator of the universe. If you believe he is the creator then this is not up for debate. He is far wiser and smarter because he literally made us. It’s very simple.

Exactly. If my wife came to me and stated “I’m uncomfortable with our roommates and I don’t think we need to live with them,” either they or we would have a new address ASAP.
Let them have her. They like you around cause you help financially. She is the latch on. If she stays they will be like we need to get rid of her cause........ you stated about 10 things.
Exactly. The problem is once he leaves the "friends" are going to kick her to the curb and she will follow him- not because she wants to but because she has no other choice.
Love this guy he is trying to save all these people. Helping all these toxic people unfortunately he has to cut them off and take care of himself good luck man. Hope it works out for you.
Yeah, the wife is definitely screwing around with this couple. The sad part is this guy sounds like he has no backbone and is just going to go with the flow until he blows his brains out, literally. Hopefully I’m wrong.
ZACK !!!! Stop. Think. Listen. Tell your wife you’re out of there and will be finding a ~HOME~ for both of you. Go and get a 1 bedroom apt and set up the home. Call her and tell her it’s ready, and wait 90 days. If she doesn’t come, start divorce proceedings and get on with you life.
Better yet don't wait. She willingly admitted that her relationship with her best friend is more important than him. Never put your life on hold for a woman.
It’s crazy how the people making little to no income have the most ish to say (the wife) and I get that living with other people could save money but as a married couple, that living arrangement should only be temporary. You gotta want more for yourself and clearly this woman doesn’t.
As someone who used to be agoraphobic and struggle bad with anxiety the wife needs to go out and try even if its minimum wage work part time. You can't live in fear, I did that for years just made things worse. Baby steps one foot at a time.
Same here, but maybe not to that extent. I mean I used to have panic attacks at the grocery store for no reason, but if you want to get better you find a way and have to face down those fears. Props to you for staring down yours.
Forreal they have no purpose for themselves as individuals. It’s so sad. I just want them to man the F up so bad and grow a pair but they never dooooo. Men these days are so soft.
Once we could afford it, I was so happy to not have roommates anymore and just live with my husband and now our child. I wouldn't want to add roommates unless we were both agreeing that we were fine with it and that the person was responsible enough to deserve a spot in our home and so it would have to benefit us financially and not effect us physically or mentally in a negative way. My mom sometimes asks about moving in with me when we one day have a bigger place or having us move in with her if she succeeds financially and gets a bigger place and I'm like "Hahaha. No. But we can visit each other." Boundaries. Set them up from the start and stick with it.
@@dc4me44 this is one of those cases where divorce is very likely warranted. We only have his side of the story and not theirs but the red flags are great and many. Some people should never be married in the first place. Fortunately they don't have children so each would get a potential fresh start. I have great contempt for people that treat marriage flippantly. Staying married when it's not appropriate is just as harmful.
When Dave Ramsey tells someone their marriage is about over, you can tell there is no dealing with this woman unless she makes major changes in her life
The wife wants to live with the roommates for the rest of her life? Forget that! LET her live with them, if she wants. No married couple should want to live with roommates indefinitely.
Dude, you’re the breadwinner. If you want to move out, then move out, with or without your wife. Don’t pay or contribute any money to the friend’s house any more. If she leaves you, great, find a better one whose not lazy

Some of them want to be used and some them want to be abused.

Yupe he's being used by the three of them and I bet they're three doing each other.
