Hey, I lived with one of those!

He was so high-maintenance that he was exhausting. Yes, he was depressed--but even after I found him help (difficult enough to do for someone who had lost his job and had no health insurance) he would STILL require me to do all sorts of things for him without offering much in return (except sex--which I was too tired to enjoy).

Eventually, he found a new job, or more accurately his best friend found him a job. Then he proceeded to have an affair with the same friend's wife, breaking up their marriage, and ended up leaving town (with the best-friend's-wife).

My only regret is that I didn't have the chance to kick him out! Thank goodness someone ELSE gets to maintain him now!
