Issues with husbands friend Help!?

A year my husband brought up that he was going to let his friend move into our house to help get him out of his situation. (We had moved across country). I very strongly objected to this. We had just bought our first house and I was pregnant with our second child. His friend was on our phone plan once because he was in another bad bind, he used all of our data bought a bunch of ringtones and never paid his section of the bill. I was reluctant in having to deal with this in a living situation. Eventually I caved and 6 months later he moved in. I gave up my daughters new nursery I had just finished so he could have a room. Prior to his move we set down ground rules that he had to pay 280 a month for rent to cover the food and utilities he used while he was here. It has been 6 months since he has been here he has paid nothing and I have lost all respect for him. He has negative comments about the food we buy. How we cook it. Every time me and my husband have a conversation where our opinions differ he instantly sides with my husband and starts arguing with me (he does get yelled at for that). And the thing that makes me the most upset is watching him use my husband generosity so he doesn't have to pay for food or a place to live. I have known both my husband and his friend for about 15 years now he is always playing the victim and my husband is always trying to be a good guy by helping him out. I just don't know what to do. I'm sick of this giant man child squating in my house.

    He or she may be your lifelong friend but that doesn't mean they know what's in your best interest relationship-wise. t if people are not willing to place their partner/family above others, it can lead to devastating consequences, regardless of how wonderful the union began.The challenge comes when friendship interferes with marriage, and a choice must be made.When couples don't get much time to themselves, it's easy for outside influences to gradually pull them apart. A demand here, another there, then another one and, before realizing it, the couples' time is all used up caring for the needs of their friends as opposed to tending to their own needs. They are often exhausted before the day is half over.

    Tell your husband its him or you, and mean it.

    Your problem isn't with this "giant man child squatting in my house" - Its the fact that you can't see your husband's point, and he cant't see yours either. THAT will tear you two apart unless you are BOTH willing to listen to the other, try to understand where the concern is coming from and working towards a place where you can both agree you are being heard and understood.

    It's time for your husband to "grow a pair" and enforce the rules you initially agreed on. Either your guest abide by the agreement or he'll need to find alternate housing. You may be forced to issue an ultimatum to your hubby that either his guest leaves or you and the baby will and it could get very expensive for him.

    Tell your husband you will divorce him and move out.

    File for divorce and child support.

    Then he will understand the situation properly.

    It's quite simple. You tell your husband that

    either that person is out of your house by

    [pick a date -- a month is generous], or

    you will be. PERIOD. If he starts any

    discussion about it, then tell him it is

    obvious where his priorities lie, and

    then start packing.

    Tell your husband that his friend has been hitting on you while he's not around. Maybe tell him that you are attracted to his friend as well and that you gave him a bj once. His friend will be moving out within a week. You're welcome.

    Tell your husband that you will NOT tolerate this man insulting you in your own house. Tell him you appreciate that he is trying to be a good person, but his friend is NOT and is abusing all his privileges. Try getting a lawyer and getting him kicked out or take him to small claims court for the money he owes you.
