Negligence is going to cost me my relationship

r/

I (28M) swear I want to do better I just find myself in these ruts of just putting things off and avoiding my responsibilities such as bills , appointments and just day to day things. I just recently found out my health insurance has been cancelled for a while now and to me it’s no big deal but my gf (25F) of 3 years had to struggle to get me to even get insurance and when it was active it was a battle to get me to just make my appointments. Now that things seem to be fine in her eyes turns out the insurance is cancelled. It’s just me on the policy so it’s not like I’m affecting her still I just know that things will have to come a boiling point and im gonna have to come face to face with reality.

TL;DR – I keep putting off my responsibilities and it’s going to cost me everything

    Yes. You will get to a point where the inconvenience of not being a responsible adult will catch up with you. And it may cost you relationships in the meantime.

    Your girlfriend being on your policy is not the issue. The issue is “my partner doesn’t have the interest or ability to make sure they have adequate coverage in the event that they have a medical need. I wonder what else they aren’t planning ahead for. I wonder if this is even someone I can count on taking initiative in things that will impact us both in the future, like paying the house insurance, schedule the car’s oil change, booking the babysitter in advance so our dinner date doesn’t get cancelled”.

    My partner is like this too. He’s always waiting until the last minute to do things. He always says “I’ll do it tomorrow”. It’s so frustrating to me. Like bro just do it now!!
