A boyfriend or girlfriend who you live with but are unsure of if you want to really be with or cannot stand. However you are inclinded to remain together for monetary reasons including paying rent and bills and taking care of kids if applicable.
It would be fun to seek out other relationships but it is convenient that I have an economical unit to help with the kids and bills. Upsetting our daily routine would cause more struggle than desired currently.
