Too bad it took her so long to see him for the deadbeat he is.  |
He he set his scam up with her pretty nicely (at least I believe it was a scam). He told her he was a machinist. Then when she suggested he fly out and meet her he told her he would love to, but he just got laid off and is short of cash. She tells him that she understands and offers to buy him the ticket. He promises to pay her back.
He comes out and sees her for a week. Things go really well so before he leaves they talk about him coming out permanently. He agrees and tells her once he gets settled he will get a job. She pays for him to move out.
Then the excuses came. It took him 2 years, but he finally got a job. It was a good job to with a union, good wages etc. It wasn't long before he started having problems with it. At first he told her it was very physically demanding and he was always worn out from it. Then he supposedly hurt his knees and was out a few months. Eventually he told her he just couldn't do it and quit. That is when he sprung the "house husband" stuff on her. He tried to tell her he would cook her dinner every night, clean, do all the laundry, shop etc. She didn't want any of that. She wanted him to get a job. That started the fighting. Eventually she shut off the X-box live account and took the x-box over to a friends. He was furious and a week later he left.
The funny thing was that she ended up paying for his move back to where he was from. He told her flat out he had nowhere to go and no money so if she didn't pay for it he would stay in the house and fight her trying to evict him. She realized then it was going to be cheaper and easier to pay for his move back.
