At the moment I am stuck in the middle of being with a man and not being with him. See, we were together for nearly two years but I ended it when he started to annoy me so much.
We've been apart a good few months but just lately we have started to see more of each other and I'm starting to wonder if we could give it another go, maybe he isnt so bad after all?

For instance, my car is off the road and yesterday he travelled 150 miles to come and see me just to take me shopping...only a nice guy would do that right? He's always buying me things, pays for everything when he has the money, buys the kids things, takes us out for meals etc...

But he has the most annoying habits and I don't know if its just me that is being petty (I do have a short fuse and get annoyed over the daftest things) or if its justified.

For instance, he's greedy..yesterday for instance he got here and he had a cornish pastie, 2 sandwiches, a sausage roll, a big pizza with extra cheese (he has to get extra on everything), a portion of chips and a piece of chocolate cake. I really hate greedyness but if he's greedy isnt that his problem? should I worry about it? I mean...it's not hurting me is it?

Another thing is that he doesn't have much "drive", he still lives with his parents and spends his wages on playstation and xbox games, he still lives like a teenager but if he's still living at home (no money to move out) is he right to spend his money in this way? he has no other responcibilties...

Other things are clumbsyness, grumpyness, burping and farting which really flicks my switch with anyone, not just him, he's snappy with the kids but to be fair they do rarve about on him all the time...

Please advise me...

I don't think you can continue to have a relationship with this guy.
Despite his good points, his other habits obviously just grate on your nerves.
Its not the fact that you have a short fuse, with the right person you wouldn't bother with these things, he's obviously just not right for you, sorry.

Agree with hoolagirl. Alarm bells would be going off in my head if his habits were already a big issue.

you've got kids already, you don't need another one (especially one who sounds like the worst kind of teenager).
