Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

My husband and I have been married for 1 yr, dated for 3, and were friends fro 5. When we started dating, he was self-sufficient and confident, and seemed like a good catch. He told me he was allergic to cats but that eventually he gets used to them and it’s not such a problem. I have two cats – one was a rescue that I LOVE and would never separate from (I’ve had him for 12 years). Anyway, 1 year after we dated, he quit his job. I thought he was paying his bills via savings but it turned out he had no savings, his Mother was paying for his bills (He’s 39 years old, mind you). I was surprised, but he did pay her back once he stated working at a job making MUCH less money than before. I was a little concerned about that as I dont want a mama’s boy AND more importantnly, I am a single parent and dont need any additional financial trouble. Took me years of working 2 jobs, going to school, and raising my son to get where I am today. Anyway, he promised me the job was temporary until he found something else. in the meantime, his lease was up, and we took the next step in the relationship and moved in together. A few months later, he needed surgery but had no health insurance and so we got married 1 yr ahead of schedule at the court house so I could put him on my insurance. Surgery went well and he was back on his feet in a week. It’s been almost 1 yr since then, and he’s lost his “temporary” job, gained 60 lbs, and his health has declined from eating mdconalds every day with his unemployment money. While he gives me almost all of his unemplyment money, it’s 1/8 the amount of our bills, leaving me to use my entire check on paying our bills. I work 50 hrs/wk, come home and cook, clean everything except vacuuming and emptying the dishwasher while he sits on the couch all day. We have access to a free gym and he’s never been once. he NEVER leaves the house except to get more junk food. Now, he’s got allergic asthma that’s made worse by the allergy to cats and his weight gain. He refuses to lose weight, has no idea how to eat properly, and when I told him he should learn and start losing weight, he got angry at me, saying he wasn’t interested in learning how to cook, and that I was trying to control him. I am sick and tired of supporting him, and his negative attitude towards himself and everyone else. Now he’s trying to tell me that I should get rid of my beloved cats – who have been in my life 10 years longer than him. NO WAY. What should I do? Obviously I should’ve opened my eyes earlier and seen that his mother pays his car insurance, cell phone bill, and credit card payments for YEARS because he can’t – but we kept our money separate for a long time. Help!
